Makes an interesting (and tasty) change replacing mixed herbs in stuffings and herb bread.
The term za’atar tends to create some confusion in the marketplace. This Arabic word is used in many Middle Eastern countries to describe both the herb thyme and a seasoning blend made of thyme, sesame, sumac and salt. Like many spice blends, Zaatar varies considerably from region to region. Different areas prefer different proportions, and in some areas ingredients such as the leaves of sumac trees may be added. Herbie’s Spices Zaatar contains no added artificial colours or flavours and uses the finest quality ingredients available.
Ingredients
Sumac, Sesame Seed, Thyme, Parsley, Oregano, Salt.
Blended and packed in Australia from local and imported ingredients.
Use
Works well in Middle Eastern food, stuffings and herb bread. Brush flat-bread with olive oil, sprinkle with Zaatar and lightly grill until toasted. Mix Zaatar into mashed potato and coat chicken with Zaatar before frying, grilling, barbecuing or roasting.
