Omega Zatar Powder: Levantine herb and sesame blend for manakish, labneh, eggs and roasts. Single 1 kg pack.
Zaatar is a Levantine herb blend usually made with dried thyme or oregano, sumac, toasted sesame and salt. Mix it with olive oil and spread it on dough for manakish, the classic breakfast flatbread, or dip fresh bread into oil and then zaatar. It also seasons labneh, eggs, roast chicken, potatoes, salads and cheese pastries. The sesame toasts beautifully in the oven, so it suits baked dishes. Za'atar refers both to wild herbs of the Levant and to the prepared mixture of dried herbs, toasted sesame and other seasonings. The sesame in the blend contains oil, so keep the pack sealed and cool so it does not go stale. In Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, manakish with zaatar and olive oil is a classic morning bake. A spoonful mixed with olive oil also makes an easy dip for warm khubz and fresh vegetables.
