ZA'ATAR (ZAATAR SEASONING)
Za'atar is an amazing Spice Blend which is must-have in every Mediterranean food lover's pantry. When I'm looking to try some Mediterranean recipes, this is first seasoning I mix at home. If you have never tried zatar, this is perfect way to introduce a new spice to your family. Add it to hummus, sprinkle on salads or fresh fruit, or mix in yogurt for a delicious spiced yogurt dip. Options are endless.Za'atar (also spelled as Zaatar / Zatar / Zahtar) seasoning pack a punch of herb and citrus flavor, is very simple to make at home, and needs only 4 main ingredients: Thyme, Sumac, Sesame Seeds, Oregano, and Salt. (more on this ahead). Before I dig deeper into zaatar ingredients, let me share with you why make zaatar at home.Honestly, the main reason is the quality of ingredients. When recipe is such simple, the quality of ingredients define the flavor. Using fresh toasted sesame seeds, and fresh thyme (dried or just picked from garden) makes all the difference. During this time of year, my little backyard garden is blooming with fresh herbs (one of my favorite culinary inspiration). Specially, mint, thyme, and oregano grow like wild weed. When I have too much to handle, either I freeze'em or dry in oven.Home Oven Dried Thyme:Thyme is wonderful herb when comes to freeze drying or oven drying (at home, no commercial oven needed). It retains it's green vibrant color and fragrance after drying. If you like to grow fresh herbs in garden. Use this simple recipe and never buy dried thyme again.To dry thyme, I pre-heat oven at 250 degree Fahrenheit. Wash thyme (fresh picked from garden or bought fresh from grocery store). Pat it dry, spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Thyme will let you know when it is ready. (Kitchen is filled with aroma of thyme once it crosses the stage of moisture.) Keep an eye, don't let it burn. Use caution if your oven gets over heated. In that case either heat at 200 degree Fahrenheit only or leave oven door ajar. The resulting oven-dried thyme is crisp green and easy to take out from stems. Just rub gently in palm of your hands to separate leaf from stems.Along with toasted sesame seeds (look at recipe steps) and dried thyme.. I use oregano and sumac in zaatar spice mix. Oregano is my favorite addition to zatar specially when I'm using this as rub for meat. It adds very flavorful earthy notes. In stores you will find za'atar with or without oregano. If you don't have oregano, thyme alone will be sufficient. However, I won't say same about sumac. Sumac is the one main flavor-profile of zatar. Should not be missed.Sumac is a middle-eastern spice-blend with delicious citrus notes. Usually I keep a jar of sumac at home. Other than a main ingredient in zaatar, it is also my favorite seasoning in Fattoush Salad. You can find sumac in most US grocery stores (look in International Food aisle). I always find it in Whole Foods, Walmart, or Online. Note: The store-bought spice mix usually have very less sumac. In homemade blend, I use good proportion for a perfect punch of citrusy sumac flavor.(If you not looking to make own zaatar. This is my favorite pre-blended Za'atar.)How to Use Za atar Spice?Now that we have learned to make own Zaatar Spice Blend. Let's see how to use it in cooking.I usually make 1/4 cup of spice blend at a time. This way it stays fresh and consumed quickly in 2-3 recipes. One of my favorite way to use zaatar seasoning is on fresh fruit. (just like you would use Tajin.) The citrusy sumac, nutty toasted sesame seeds, fragrant thyme, and pinch of salt. All fresh sweet fruits such as melon love company of zatar.In-fact, this is my favorite way to taste-test za atar after I just blended a batch. Fresh sliced melon, dash of lemon juice, sprinkle zaatar spice (liberally). Eat and enjoy!You can also use zaatar to:1) Serve as dip for bread: Mix few pinches of zaatar in olive oil. Serve on side of fresh baked/toasted bread as herb dip.2) Season yogurt, hummus, or salad dressing with pinch of zatar. 3) Mix with olive oil to make zaatar paste. Apply paste on meat before baking/grilling.4) Spice-up fresh baked bread or dinner rolls.I have planned some recipes. Hoping to send some za'atar love your way. Save some seasoning!Wish you a wonderful start of the week. -Savita x

- If using untoasted sesame seeds, heat a small skillet over low to medium heat. Add sesame seeds and toast for a few minutes or until lightly golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Transfer toasted sesame seeds to a mortar, small blender, or small mixing bowl, along with thyme, oregano, cumin, sea salt (starting with lesser amount), and sumac. Use either the pestle, blender, or a spoon to combine the mixture. Add olive oil (optional) near the end and mix again to combine.
- Taste test and adjust as needed, adding more cumin for smokiness, salt to taste, sumac for tartness, thyme for floral notes, oregano for a woodsy taste, or sesame seeds for sesame flavor and more texture. NOTE: The amount of salt you add will depend on preference. If you typically add more salt to dishes, hold back a bit. If you want this to be a stand-alone spice blend that seasons a salad or hummus, etc., a greater amount of salt is nice for balance and flavor.
- Perfect for marinating or seasoning meats, garnishing dips and salads, or adding more flavor to just about any dish, especially those that are Middle Eastern or Mediterranean inspired, including hummus, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables.
