Za'atar is a time honored spice blend, and regional variations are beloved throughout the Middle East. This Syrian version carries on the classic flavor combination of toasted sesame and sumac, but also boasts a base of toasted cumin and coriander with just a hint of anise. An excellent all-purpose condiment blend, Syrian Za'atar is particularly tasty sprinkled liberally on lamb, both before and after grilling.

Try a bit of this blend on some hummus.
