New York Shuk Za’atar

Simultaneously woodsy and bright, za’atar is an essential spice blend ideal for enhancing fresh vegetables, roasted meat, cheese and so much more. Recipes for this spice mix vary and while not all za’atar blends contain the za’atar herb—the pungent cousin to oregano that also gives this blend its namesake—New York Shuk follows the traditional route. Their za’atar mix is based on an ancient Jerusalem recipe combining crushed za’atar leaves, sumac, sesame seeds, extra virgin olive oil and salt. Nutty and herbaceous with a delicate tang, this versatile spice blend adds complexity to even the simplest of dishes.
