A few years back, dieticians and nutritionist were advising everyone to adopt the Mediterranean diet. Most of the herbs used in Mediterranean cuisine had already made their way to the dishes that ended up on my dinner table, except one: Za'atar. Za'atar is a savory herb and it is used in Israeli and Arab cuisine. Some say it is very similar to thyme or oregano, but not the same as. I happen to like the flavor of both thyme and oregano, so I would probably be happy to use za'atar as a cooking ingredient. My research indicates that za'atar is actually a spice mix or a spice blend. The recipe includes: dried thyme, marjoram, and oregano, coarse salt, ground sumac, and roasted sesame seeds. (Of course, everybody has their own recipe so you might find variations.) How do you use it? The same way you use salt. Just sprinkle it into dish while you're cooking or on top after it's done.
