Smoky Za'atar with coconut lime

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: pizza dough, olive oil, mozzarella and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the celery in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the za'atar and let it smoky, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the tomato sauce along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a grating of hard cheese and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
