What is Za’atar
Za’atar is a popular spice blend from the Middle East. It usually includes toasted sesame seeds, dried sumac, oregano, thyme, marjoram. However, these spices vary depending on where in the Middle East you are.
It is usually enjoyed with pita bread, dipped in olive oil but you can use it on pretty much anything – seafood, beef, chicken, vegetables – rub them with the za’atar, olive oil and salt and roast in the oven – it’s delicious.
