Ways to use Middle Eastern Za’atar
- Za’atar is most frequently used as a table condiment, sprinkled on food or stirred into some olive oil as a dip for flatbread.
- Combine with breadcrumbs to coat chicken or pork cutlets.
- Use in a dressing for a carrot salad with raisins.
- Toss carrots, cauliflower, chickpeas and tomatoes in olive oil and Za’atar and bake.
- Use as dry rub for roast chicken or lamb, as well as on firm or starchy vegetables like cauliflower or potatoes.
- Make a vinaigrette with olive oil, balsamic and Za’atar, allow to infuse for at least 30 minutes. Use on salads or vegetables.
- For a quick marinade, mix a quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil with 2-3 teaspoons of Za’atar, the zest of a lemon and a good pinch of salt.
Use with chicken, beef, lamb, fish and seafood or vegetables – slices of eggplant marinated and then grilled until lightly charred and tender are also delicious.
Sprinkle over:
- sliced tomatoes and cucumbers garnished with fresh basil.
- plain yogurt, and drizzle with olive oil to make a delicious dip.
- Mediterranean-style pizzas.
- boiled, poached and fried eggs or an omelette.
- vegetables, salads, meatballs or kebabs.
- hummus/hommus
- cubes of feta or goats cheese, add a slurp of olive oil and store in a jar in the fridge.
In fact, Za’atar goes with almost anything savoury!
Ingredients: sumac, roasted sesame seeds, oregano, thyme, marjoram.
