Za'atar Seasoning Jar with Salt

Za'atar, originated in Lebanon, is a staple in the world of Middle Eastern cooking. Unlike any spice blend you have ever tried, this historically coveted mixture has quite the unique flavor to it. The tangy, vinegar-like flavors of sumac pair effortlessly with more recognizable spices such as thyme, oregano, sesame seed, and basil.

Common Ways to Consume

Za'atar can be paired deliciously with a lot of different food choices. It is commonly used with flatbread and olive oil, for a quick and easy, yet unique treat. But aside from bread, Za'atar joins well with chicken, seafood, and vegetables. Roasting carrots with Za'atar and oil is a match made in heaven. Even more ways to consume this blend, are dips! Next time you serve hummus or french onion dip, try sprinkling some on top.
