Za’atar is an all purpose seasoning and a Middle Eastern staple. The taste of a za’atar mixture can be herbal, or nutty, or toasty depending on the specific recipe. Za’atar is a spice blend that is so versatile! It can be used on meats, veggies, rice and breads. It is blended with olive oil and used as a marinade for olives or as a spread for pita or flatbread or pizza! It is also delicious with warm bread and olive oil or sprinkled on Lebneh (thick strained yogurt). Try using as part of a marinade when slow-cooking or as a rub with meat, poultry and game. Use to season salads or sprinkled on steamed or roasted vegetables. Za’atar is popular both in cooking and as a condiment in Armenia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian territories, Syria and Turkey. It is eaten for breakfast alongside a cheese made of yogurt with bread throughout the Arab world, most often in Lebanon and Syria.
