Arabian Za’atar Spice Blend
Za’atar (pronounced ZAH-tahr) is a spice blend that can be used in a multitude of ways and many Middle Eastern dishes wouldn’t be complete without Za’atar, it helps bring out the flavour of foods and its a modern and appealing addition to most savoury dishes.
While there are many variations originally going back to medieval times, its the perfect amount of each ingredient that gives it the desired flavours. Our recipe includes sumac which brings a citrus taste, thyme a earthy and minty flavour and roasted sesame seeds for a nutty and sweet flavour for a overall tangy and toasty essence.
Sprinkle it over salad, eggs, hummus, labneh, baba ghanoush or mix with olive oil for a flavourful marinade. This classic blend, with the famous Kumari twist, is also a perfect rub for chicken, beef, lamb or fish and a seasoning for veggies, serve with crusty bread, dips (Mix with yoghurt for a quick dip or condiment).
Ingredients: Roasted white sesame seeds, sumac, thyme

First bought this product many years ago at the New Farm Markets, Brisbane. Have been a repeat buyer since, as well as their other products. Love the curry flavours and varieties, including their Thai Fish Curry. The jars are packed to the brim with spice and provide many meals. We particularly like this one as we enjoy many lamb curries.
