Zaatar is both a single herb and a blend. The herb is closely related to thyme and savory. The blend consists of toasted sesame seeds, zaatar, thyme, salt, and sumac, adding a pleasant sour hint. Use Zaatar as a final touch on grilled meats and fish, in dips, on top of hummus or baba ganouj, or mixed with olive oil and served on pita bread. It’s also great for a simple salad to sprinkle on sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.
