Za'atar
A nutty, tangy, herby Middle Eastern flavouring
Za'atar is a simple mix of herbs and spices that is widely used in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and many other countries of the Middle East.
It consists of a mixture of thyme, sesame, sumac and salt, and is used as a general flavouring and as a topping for pitta bread or other flatbreads.
The flavour is best described as at once tangy, nutty, and herbal.
