Zaatar Banh Mi with coconut lime

Method

1. Start by prepping your brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the banh mi and let it zaatar, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a squeeze of lemon right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
