Zaatar is to Lebanon what Vegimite is to Australia. The word “Zaatar” refers to wild thyme herbs that grow in Lebanese and Middle Eastern wilderness. It is also used to refer to the herbal mix which is found in every Lebanese kitchen. Zaatar can be consumed in a variety of ways, the most common one being to mix it with olive oil, and then use it as a spread on a sandwich or spread it on dough and bake it into a “Manoushe” (plural “Mana’eesh”). Mana’eesh bakeries are to the streets of Lebanon what Starbucks is to the streets of Australia (and now the World). They are extremely common and are crowded mostly in mornings with people picking up Zaatar or other kinds of Mana’eesh and gourmet baked pies on their way to work. (Thyme, herbs, sesame seeds, olive oil)
Regular: $3.00, Small: $1.00 (ideal for catering)
