I'm in love with za'atar seasoning

I never would have known about it except for the fact that a recipe called for it. The local grocery store didn't have it so Amazon to the rescue. The "smoky eggplant dip" frankly tasted like crap. . . until I sprinkled the za'atar seasoning over it. Then it suddenly became delicious and lovely. As with all seasoning blends, I imagine the exact formulation changes depending on where you get it from. Mine is from Teeny Tiny Spice Company and contains: sumac berries, marjoram, thyme, basil, oregano, white sesame seeds, and Himalayan pink salt. This is a delightful blend of herbs and it will be great for making rubs and marinades for meats, chicken, or even fish. It also works well, as the recipe calls for, as a sprinkle on top of hummus or baba ganoush. I look forward to experimenting with it more!

I hadn't either until I came across the recipe that required it. It is common in the middle East I think.
