Lebanese zaatar blend Lebanese Zaatar Recipe by Zaatar and Zaytoun

The Lebanese zaatar blend is one if the simplest to put together and only has 3 ingredients; zaatar, sumac and sesame seeds (no extra spices please).

Zaatar is usually paired with olive oil to make a loose paste which you can dip bread in. Combine with extra virgin olive oil if eating right away and mild olive oil if cooking.

The most common way Lebanese people use it is on manakishwhich is a flatbread usually baked in a communal oven (furun).

It also goes very well with tomato and mild cheeses such as burrataand of course there is my famous zaatar chicken recipe.
