Za'atar spice is often mixed with olive oil and spread on bread. Some prefer to do this at the table, while others prefer to bake this mixture into the bread rounds. Za'atar also serves as a seasoning to sprinkle on vegetables, salads, meatballs or kebabs. Much like sausage seasonings, each country and family has a distinctive style of Za'atar. Our particular blend is Israeli in style. *Sumac is a member of the cashew family. Ingredients: Sumac (sumac, salt), sesame, thyme, marjoram, oregano.

First introduced to za'atar over ten years ago, I was unimpressed. Then something in the Spice House's description caught my eye and led me to read the ingredients in this blend. It sounded like something I could like. Wow! I LOVE this! It adds so much flavor to chicken, eggs, pork. I can't imagine being without it in my spice cabinet.
Loved it!
Love to sprinkle this delish blend of zesty spices on popcorn, along with a drizzle of EVVO.
I have replaced most of my salt usage by using herbs and spices. This is on the most used list.
We use this spice in a marinade for grilled chicken thighs, and it's a very easy recipe for those with little time for meal preparation. We mix the spice with fresh grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and salt. The marinade ends up being a little more fluid than a paste. Add to a zip bag with the chicken thighs. We've marinated this over night and only for a few hours, and both times the chicken had great flavor. A bonus is that the left over chicken works well in toasted sandwiches and salads.
