Vegetables infused with Za'atar herbs is a delightful addition to any main dish.  It is such a versatile herb blend that can flavour and enhance any meat or fish as well.  Here we had vegetables infused with Za'atar and cooked with Italian Sausages.

4-5 Italian Sausages

2 Tblsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 cup cauliflower, cut small bite size pieces

2/3 cup chopped asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces

3 sliced crimini mushrooms

1/4 of a small red onion, sliced and then cut in half

1/4 sliced red and green pepper

1 tsp. Za'atar

salt and pepper to taste

4 Tblsp. vegetable stock

Heat up a skillet or cast iron pan on low medium heat.  Add the Evoo to the pan, once heated add in the Italian sausages.  Depending on their size, cook 15-20 minutes until nicely browned, and cooked through.  Transfer to an oven proof dish, and keep warm in the oven and 200 degrees.  Then add the mushrooms, onions, and peppers to the pan.  Saute about 5 minutes until onions are translucent.

Then add in the cauliflower, asparagus and za'atar and continue to saute another 5 minutes.  Add the vegetable stock, then lid on the pan and cook 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are nicely cooked through.

Plate with the cooked sausages, and serve alongside mashed potatoes, or your choice of side dish.
