Zaatar

Za'atar is a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend that combines aromatic herbs, sesame seeds, and sumac. This flavorful mixture is used extensively in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African cuisines, bringing a unique blend of earthy, tangy, and nutty flavours. Za'atar is versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, from seasoning meats and vegetables to topping flatbreads and mixing them into dips like hummus.

Key Features:

Herbaceous and Tangy Flavour: The primary herbs in Za'atar, including oregano, thyme, and marjoram, contribute a fresh, herbaceous flavour, while sumac adds a tangy, lemony brightness and sesame seeds provide a mild nutty taste.

Versatile Use: Za'atar can be used as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, and grains, or as a finishing touch for bread, dips, and salads. Its balanced flavour profile makes it a great addition to a wide range of dishes.

Natural Ingredients: Za'atar is made from all-natural ingredients, typically including sesame seeds, sumac, thyme, oregano, and salt. Some variations may also include cumin or coriander.

Culinary Uses of Za'atar:

Flatbreads and Pita: One of the most common ways to enjoy Za'atar is as a topping for flatbreads or pita. Simply drizzle the bread with olive oil, sprinkle with Za'atar, and bake for a simple, delicious snack or appetizer. You can also use it to flavour focaccia or naan.

Marinades for Meats: Za'atar works wonderfully as a marinade for meats such as chicken, lamb, or beef. Mix it with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice to coat the meat before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.

Vegetables: To add depth and flavour, sprinkle Za'atar over roasted or grilled vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, or potatoes. It's especially good when paired with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.

Dips and Sauces: Za'atar is a key ingredient in many Middle Eastern dips, such as hummus and baba ganoush. It can also be mixed with yogurt to create a tangy, herby sauce or dip for bread, vegetables, or grilled meats.

Rice and Grains: Za'atar is great for adding flavour to rice, couscous, or quinoa. Sprinkle it over grains just before serving or mix it in while cooking for a fragrant, flavorful side dish.

Salads: Za'atar can be used to season salads or mix them into salad dressings, especially when paired with olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for a Mediterranean-inspired flavour.

Egg Dishes: Sprinkle Za'atar over scrambled eggs, omelettes, or frittatas for a burst of herbal flavour that pairs perfectly with cheese, spinach, or tomatoes.
