Za'atar

The earthy, tangy aroma of toasted sesame and bright sumac creates an irresistible Middle Eastern blend that transforms everything it touches. I sprinkle this fragrant mixture over warm flatbread with olive oil, fold it into labneh, or use it to finish roasted vegetables and grilled meats.
