Za’atar is an aromatic herb mix produced from an indigenous variety of thyme that can be used as a dip, topping or seasoning. The thyme is mixed by hand with sea salt, toasted sesame and sumac.
Traditionally eaten with olive oil and freshly baked bread, it is delicious sprinkled on eggs or tomato salad. It’s used to bake maneesh flatbread and as a seasoning for roast lamb, chicken, fish and vegetables.
We buy our za’atar from Sindyanna of Galilee, where Palestinian women use shade-dried za’atar leaves to create a highly flavoursome blend.
