Za'atar Carrots and Lentils

Step 1

In an extra-large nonstick skillet combine carrots, maple syrup, za’atar seasoning, and ¼ cup water. Cover and cook over medium 14 to 16 minutes or until carrots are tender. Uncover; cook 1 minute more or until carrots are glazed and golden, stirring occasionally. Remove carrots from skillet.

Step 2

In the same skillet combine the lentils and the next four ingredients (through thyme) plus 1½ cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Remove and discard thyme.

Step 3

Stir in olives, raisins, garlic scapes, and lemon zest. Place carrots on top. Cover and heat through. If you like, sprinkle with additional za’atar seasoning. Serve with lemon wedges.
