Fatayer or manaeesh are a traditional part of Levantine cuisine, typically served at breakfast alongside a piping hot cup of mint black tea. I have early memories of my mom and aunts preparing these pies in the morning and carrying them down to the community oven in our Palestinian village of Anabta, where they would line up to have them perfectly baked in a taboon (clay oven). These carb-y treats come in many shapes - from flatbreads to little pockets - and are topped or stuffed with zaatar, cheese, meat, veggies or a combo of any of the above. In my home, you will always find freshly baked fatayer on the table for weekend breakfasts.
