Za'atar, a versatile and aromatic herb blend, holds a significant place in Middle Eastern cuisine. Consisting of a mix of dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and sumac, za'atar adds a unique and delicious flavor to various dishes. While commercially available za'atar blends are widely popular, cultivating the individual herbs at home allows for a deeper connection to the culinary tradition and a more personalized touch to your dishes.
