Honestly, I wasn't really sure what to expect form this recipe with the oatmeal being the odd factor for me. Well, I made as directed and added carrot, celery and some kale. It all came out quite nice and the oatmeal is very similar to adding barley flakes to a soup. I love the low calorie and sugar content. You could add pretty much anything your heart might desire and it would work here. -
After extensive researching zatar leaves are wild oregano leaves, if anyone was wondering.
