At the risk of being That Person- we didn't have any tuna in the pantry, but we did have leftover chicken and it turned out Delicious. Adding the olive brine is definitely critical. We suggest adding extra za'atar as well.

Made as is using the tuna’s oil! Pretty delish but if I had my way it’d have two TBSP of za’atar (which IMO would be reasonable given the sheer volume of ingredients). Also, not that necessary but if you wanted a distributed dressing i’d say mix the tuna oil, seasonings, olive oil, brine and lemon juice first before adding the rest of the ingredients

Made with 2 cans of chick peas and no tuna. Added roasted red peppers, and extra zaatar. Didn’t have fresh dill so I used a bit of dried. I served it on toasted ww lavash. I might add some diced avocado next time to sub for the oily fish. Very satisfying vand adaptable egan meal.

SInce my husband has become somewhat difficult to please lately as far as liking his dinner due to changes in his ability to taste foods like he thinks they tasted, I decided to try this recipe. I was looking for something simple that used ingredients I had in my fridge and pantry. This was IT! Suffice to say, hubby ate all of his portion and said that it was pretty good. I was elated, honestly. I only halved the recipe since leftover meals that he doesn’t like are a waste unless I can eat it for lunch which is seldom. Using chicken is a great idea and one I might try otherwise but, chicken has become an undesirable food to him of late. Sure crimps my choices. Not pasta more than 2x a month. I used to enjoy cooking and baked a lot as well, but not anymore. Sad. I bake for myself, biscotti which he will also eat most mornings with coffee. Since my sons and families love it, too, I bake for them when they come to visit.

Two thumbs up. I had to fake the za'atar with oregeno and ground cumin so no sesame seeds. Still it was delish.

Could you add tomatoes as well? And what about parsley?
