Description
Zaatar (also spelt Z'atar or Za'aatar, Zahatar or Zatar) is a spice mixture that has been popular in the Middle East for centuries for seasoning meats and flat breads. The palastinian believe that Zaatar keeps the mind alert and the body strong, and they give their children a sandwich with zaatar before sitting examinations.
- Zaatar is delicious sprinkled on either hummus or labane (a yogurt that has been drained until it becomes a creamy cheese).
- Try Za'atar spreaded on a pitta bread or foccacio with a little oil and baked - it makes a delicious herbal pizza, or you can mix it with hot olive oil and dribble it over a bagel for a delicious snack.
