This dish combines the old Jewish dish with Mediterranean flavors. Serve it with some Mediterranean dips and win the heart of your guests.
This spice mix was created by me to be able to taste Jerusalem even if I am not there. It puts together flavors of the Jerusalem market and each time you use you will think you are there now. You can use this spice mix with many meat and chicken dished so make a big amount and keep in the freezer.
