Harcha with Onions, Herbs, Olives and Cheese - Moroccan Stuffed Harcha Recipe
"This savory version of harcha is flavored with olive oil and za'atar (wild thyme), then stuffed with a filling of onions, olives, parsley and cheese. Oregano or regular thyme can be substituted for the za'atar. Use any soft cheese with a low melting point; I like cream cheese best. Serve stuffed harcha for tea time or as an appetizer. Also try harcha with za'atar and olive oil without a filling...."
