Za’atar

Za’atar (also spelled Zatar, Zahtar) is an aromatic blend used in the Middle East, featuring Sesame Seed, Sumac, Coriander and Thyme with a touch of Sea Salt. It’s especially popular in Turkey, Jordan, and North Africa. Use on everything ~ meats, roasted potatoes and vegetables, mix with olive oil as a dip, or sprinkle on hummus. Za’atar has a unique zesty, herb flavor deserving of a tabletop place next to salt and pepper.

This is fantastic. It improves cooked vegetables & salads, either sprinkled on top or cooked in during sauté. Whenever something tastes a little bland now I reach for the Za’atar. ~ posted 3/11/2013
