Zataar
Zataar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that’s easy to make at home. You just mix together dried oregano, marjoram, and thyme with toasted sesame seeds and salt. Some people like to add ground sumac for extra tang, but it’s optional. Once you’ve combined everything in a bowl, you can store it in a jar for several weeks. It’s a versatile seasoning that adds a savory, herbal flavor to all sorts of dishes. You can sprinkle it on bread, use it as a rub for meats, or add it to dips and salad dressings.
