Za’atar is a traditional and ancient blend of spices native to the Middle East, dating back as far as the 12th century. This version from Kamā features fragrant nuttiness from sesame seeds, along with robust dried thyme and cumin. It is lightly salted and nicely zesty, pairing well with its herbaceous notes. We love the clear herb and spice forward flavor all made with high quality ingredients brought to us by the women at Kamā who are deeply passionate about great food.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use this za’atar stirred into a yogurt with some olive oil and lemon juice to make a yogurt sauce to top or dip your veggies, as a seasoning for meat, especially chicken, lamb or fish, mixed into vinaigrettes, or to top flatbreads, pizza and homemade crackers. We especially like using it when making Yeasted Flatbreads with Za’atar Oil, Roasted Butternut Squash with Tahini and Za’atar and Tomato-Zucchini Tart with Za’atar and Feta.
