Zahtar

Zahtar  is a traditional Mediterranean herb blend.  My recipe consists of marjoram, oregano, thyme, sesame, and sumac.  This seasoning is eaten with pita, then olive oil, and then Zahtar.  It is very good with eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, with meats and vegetables, or in soups.

Zahtar

Zahtar (za’atar) is a popular Middle eastern spice blend made with toasted sesame seeds, marjoram, thyme, and sumac.  It is mixed with olive oil and salt and drizzled over hot bread, or eaten with bread.  It is also sprinkled over meat and vegetables.  I love Zahtar with scrambled eggs.  Use this blend when baking bread, sprinkled on before baking, or stir into dough.
