Israeli Za'atar is a traditional condiment for flatbread, and the simple mix of herbs, toasted sesame seeds and sumac is delightful. Try it as a sprinkle on vegetables, chicken or fish or simply mix with good olive oil to form a paste, spread on a pita, and toast until crisp. You can almost picture the street vendors in a bustling bazaar selling this time honored treat.

Try a sprinkle of this blend on some hummus or enjoy our Israeli Za'atar Flatbread. For an exotic fall vegetable side dish, check out these Brussels Sprouts with za'atar and Nigella.
