A hearty blend of roasted spices, za’atar consists of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac and oregano. Used to flavour bread, or as a seasoning for poultry and fish, tangy, refreshing and herbaceous za’atar can be stirred into hummus and other dips, or used as a flavouring for roasted vegetables. For an extraordinarily fragrant, fresh-from-the-oven flatbread, za’atar is combined with olive oil and the mixture is spread over the bread before it is baked. Za’atar spice blend has numerous health-enhancing effects due to flavonoids found in sumac, thyme and oregano that can protect cells from damage. In certain parts of the Middle East it is believed za’atar should be incorporated into the daily diet for improved brain performance as the spice contains cognitive and mood-enhancing properties. Z’atar has high trace-element content and is a good source of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants and is very low in calories. It can be paired with tahini and spooned over crushed lentils, grilled meat and stews. Za’atar lends a distinct accent to tomato-bread salad, gives roasted chickpeas a fragrant, tangy bite, and adds a sparkling finish to courgette baba ganoush. It will keep your mind alert and your body strong and add an irresistible element to the food for every occasion.
