Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend consisting of dried sumac, sesame seeds, salt, and savory herbs such as oregano, marjoram, or thyme. Depending on the region, cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, or caraway seeds may also be added. Za’atar is frequently used in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine.
