If you have enjoyed a meal with lamb or white fish from the Middle East, odds are you’ve tasted the earthy and intensely fragrant za'atar herb. This can be compared to thyme but has a bit deeper of an aroma and aftertaste unique to the fields of Palestine of with a few mild hints of other ingredients to give a fuller flavor profile. You can find dry za'atar ground and sprinkled over dishes or used as a whole leaf to infuse the sauce or meat marinade with a punch of added flavor. Some outside the Middle East have begun using it in salads and filling in artisan baked goods like croissants.
