Labneh Zaatar Wrap and Allons Vert

October 14, 2016 By Jittery Cook 2 Comments

A visit to Portland, Oregon isn’t complete without a bite at one of its famous food carts. With only enough time to try one, I was seduced by Sam’s Saj. Sam cooks flatbread on a domed round Saj griddle, passing around his aromatic jar of zaatar to charm your senses. That was enough to hook me on his Labneh Zaatar Wrap. 

Labneh Zaatar Wrap

Labneh Zaatar Wrap

  • pita bread, separated into flat rounds, gently heated
  • labneh, (yogurt cheese)
  • good quality zaatar
  • ripe tomatoes, sliced, or cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
  • green olives, sliced
  • radish, sliced (optional)
  • cucumber, sliced
  • mint leaves

Spread labneh on pita. Sprinkle on a good amount of zaatar. Scatter on tomatoes, olives, radish, cucumber and mint. Roll up the wrap in parchment paper, then slice in half, or serve on mini slices of pita as appetizers.

  • Do you know your olives?
  • You can make your own grilled Lebanese flatbread or buy fantastic whole wheat pita at Allons Vert.

Now, about Allons Vert…

It’s a quaint, well-designed health food store on Notre Dame Street, west of Guy. Vansi, the owner, took time to give me a tour featuring all the highlights. Take a look at what wowed me, or join Vansi at Allons Vert  for a real live tour.

You’ll find the kind of fast food your body needs for good mileage. I took home the veggie burger and added several splashes of hot sauce. It tasted great with Allons Vert‘s super fresh whole wheat pita and a whole grain side salad.

Take a moment to bask in the spiritual guidance offered in the decor.

      I’m also crazy about middle eastern flavours. I’m going to try adding pickled turnips next time.
