Refreshingly easy! I made this without cooking! Kept it raw. Since my tomatoes were vine ripened. Great for hot days! Thanks.

What a wonderful way to use my beloved za'atar. During cooking, I basted the tomatoes twice with the pan juices. Be careful when you take the first bite -- they hold their heat.

Wonderful way to use tomatoes! Such a great recipe! I made my own Za'atar from your Za'atar recipe, although I did add a few pine nuts to the mix as I did not have enough sesame seeds. The flavour works so well with the baked tomatoes. The family really enjoyed this recipe and I will be making this again. Thanks Elmotoo for another fantastic recipe.
