@Margaret Pilgrim I love the dill blossom. It's such a lovely aroma, and also looks elegant.

I see the dried lime is left whole on the plate. Were they cooked with any of the components? Does one tear into it and eat with the dish?
I puncture and soak them, then squeeze into the pot and add them along with the soaking water, to be cooked. One should avoid squeezing or eating the cooked lime, as the bitter interor is now soft and can easily get out.
I'd avoid serving it to unsuspecting guests

Being vegetarian, I haven't had this soup myself,but it is quite common in Israel now days. It's called Yemani beef soup, or often leg soup, as it's made with leg bones.
You want a decent amount of bones and marrow, some cubes of stewing beef cuts, tomatoes, paprika and Hawaij. The links above seem good, if a bit complicated, this is a simple hearty soup.

@rotuts Thanks!
I guess that pecans will also work, but I tend to associate them with sweet preparations.
No bread alongside. It's not common here in Israel to have bread with pasta, so I'm more inclined to serve mine with salad. This time it was arugula with some basil, olive oil and vinegar. Not even mixed into a vinagrete.

Please tell more about a saj.
A saj is a large domed metal surface, similar to a tava. It is common in the Levant, used for baking various flatbreads. Here's a nice video of a skilled woman baking breads on a saj. Among them she bakes a different version of fattayer. The version I had is shaped and laminated more like a large Chinese scallion pancake.

@kayb I envy you
My tree is not very fruitful in recent years. I think that the warm weather is not for its liking.
If you are in search of pecan based recipes, you can also try those financiers by David Lebovitz: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/brown-pastry-browned-butter-financiers-recipe-french/ . I successfully made it using finely ground pecans.

It's not a bad ingredient,if used correctly. My rules are:
- Use good quality product.
- Always cook it if using more than a pinch (cooking breaks its smell).
- It is not a cheese substitute. It's more akin to msg.
