[feast_advanced_jump_to]What is Za'atar?
Za'atar is both an herb, as well as a spice mix. As an herb, it is native to the Middle East and the scientific name is Origanum syriacum. It is also the same as the biblical hyssop.
As a spice mix, the mix can vary depending upon what country it is from, according to flavor preference. However, it generally contains thyme, oregano, sesame seeds, salt, and sometimes sumac.
Za'atar pronounced “zah-tar,” is a supremely aromatic and fragrant spice blend. It's great mixed into hummus, as well as combined with a good quality olive oil to make a dipping sauce for pita bread. It's also perfect to season tilapia!
I am very fond of the za'atar that I purchased from my local grocery store, by McCormick. This organic seasoning contains thyme and oregano, sesame seed, lemon peel, and salt. This is a great option or feel free to use your favorite za'atar for this recipe. But most importantly, try seasoning some tilapia with this awesome spice blend you'll love it!
