Za'atar, also spelt zatar, is a spice blend from the Mediterranean region of the Middle East and is one of the most important spices in many dishes from North Africa, the Middle East and Turkey. The main ingredient and herb from which the blend gets its name is za'atar, a wild thyme from the Middle East. Other ingredients include sumac, toasted sesame seeds and salt. Depending on the region and preference, za'atar may also contain other ingredients such as coriander, aniseed, fennel, sunflower seeds and nuts. Za'atar can be found in most supermarkets as a ready-made spice blend.
