If you’ve never tried Za’atar seasoning, but love Mediterranean foods, you owe it to yourself to try this recipe! Za’atar is a traditional Middle Eastern blend of sumac, seseame seeds and herbs that is used in cuisines from around the Mediterranean basin. The blend is full of richly aromatic herbs, balanced by tart sumac and salt. In this recipe, we make a seasoning rub from Za’atar seasoning, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, then spread it on chicken and bake it to perfection. While it’s baking, your house will smell amazing, we promise! What are your favorite recipes that use Za’atar? Let us know in the comments below, we’d love to hear them!
