Creative Ways to Utilize Za'atar in Your Kitchen

Za'atar is a flavorful Middle Eastern spice blend made from a combination of dried herbs, sesame seeds, and sumac.

Here's how you can use za'atar:

1. Sprinkle on Bread**: Mix za'atar with olive oil and spread it on flatbreads, pita, or even regular bread before toasting or baking. It's a common and delicious way to enjoy za'atar.

2. Dip with Olive Oil: Combine za'atar with extra virgin olive oil and use it as a dip for bread. Dip the bread into the za'atar-infused oil for a flavorful snack.

3. Season Meats and Fish: Use za'atar as a dry rub or marinade for meats and fish. Coat the protein with za'atar before grilling, roasting, or sautéing to add a unique flavor.

4. Sprinkle on Salads: Sprinkle za'atar over salads to add an herbal and tangy flavor. It can work well with fresh vegetables, leafy greens, and even grains.
