Za’atar is a spice blend that originated in the Middle East. Made with a blend of oregano, thyme, sesame seeds, sumac and salt, there can be made many variations. The combination of spices and sesame seeds have a nutty, citrus flavour and aroma, with warm, earthy notes. It can be used as a delicious seasoning in cooking recipes, or as a convenient condiment.

How to Use:

Try Za’atar with pita or crunchy bread and olive oil on a dipping plate, or serve with dips. Sprinkle za’atar as a condiment over soups and hotpots, to release the tantalising aroma. Mix with a little olive oil for a quick and delicious salad dressing or marinade. Fresh garlic combined with za’atar is the perfect seasoning for tofu, vegetables, fish or meat.
