Za’atar-Crusted Grilling Cheese

with Sumac-Spiced Green Beans & Onion over Couscous

10 min
Difficulty: 1/3

Did you ever think that you could actually grill cheese? (We’re not talking about sandwiches.) Just throw a big hunk of cheese directly into a hot pan and cook until the outsides get beautifully golden while the insides get warm and melty. It took us by surprise, but by golly, it’s tasty. To make it, you’ll dredge the cheese in za’atar, a Middle Eastern herb and spice blend, then serve it on top of couscous with tender zucchini and onion dusted in tangy sumac. Being cheesy never tasted so good.

Preparation
1
Prep

  • Heat broiler to high. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and cut onion into 1-inch-thick wedges; mince one wedge. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice lengthwise into long wedges. Halve tomatoes. Zest and quarter lemon. Roughly chop cilantro.

2
Cook Couscous

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced onion and couscous. Cook, stirring, until onion is softened and couscous is lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) and stock concentrate. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 5.

3
Broil Veggies

  • Meanwhile, toss zucchini and onion wedges on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, sumac, salt, and pepper.

  • Broil, tossing halfway through, until lightly charred, 10-15 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

4
Cook Grilling Cheese

  • While veggies cook, slice grilling cheese into four large pieces (eight pieces for 4 servings).

  • Place Za’atar Spice on a plate. Coat cheese in spice, pressing to adhere.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add cheese and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.

5
Finish Couscous

  • Transfer cooked couscous to a large bowl. Stir in tomatoes, lemon zest, half the broiled veggies, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Serve

  • Divide couscous mixture between plates. Top with remaining broiled veggies and grilling cheese. Garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
