Zaatar RecipeOrigin: Lebanon Period: Traditional |
|
Zaatar is a classic Lebanese spice blend based on thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. Versions of this are known throughout the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa. It has an unusual (but pleasant) sour and nutty taste and is a crucial component of Lebanese cookery. In Lebanon it's a common belief that zaatar gives strength and clears the mind. Ingredients:
70g dried thyme 
Zaatar Preparation:Method:Combine the thyme, sumac salt and sesame seeds in a clean coffee (or spice) grinder and render to a fine powder. This will keep well if stored in a sealed jar in a cool, dark, place. Zaatar is a classic topping for bread or Lebanese pizza. Simply mix 2 tbsp zaatar with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and spread on freshly-toasted bread. Season with freshly-ground black pepper and serve. |
