Zaatar - Zatar to Ottolenghi

Zaatar - the original Zatar is a spice mix made from hand-picked wild thyme, finely roasted sesame, sumac and a pinch of salt. It is the most popular blend of spices in Palestine and is traditionally eaten for breakfast with olive oil and fresh wholemeal bread. Women's cooperatives around the city of Nablus produce this delicious Nabali Fairkost Za'atar. The fresh aroma of thyme, the acidity of sumac and the nutty taste of sesame result in an excellent combination of texture and taste.
