1. Za’atar Roasted Vegetables: Toss your favourite vegetables (such as carrots, cauliflower, or eggplant) with olive oil, za’atar, salt, and pepper. Roast them in the oven until they are tender and caramelised. Serve as a side dish or over couscous or quinoa.
2. Za’atar Hummus: Add a generous sprinkle of za’atar to your homemade hummus for an extra layer of flavour. It’s a great dip for pita bread, vegetables, or as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.
3. Za’atar-Crusted Salmon: Mix za’atar with breadcrumbs, olive oil, and a bit of lemon juice to create a crust for salmon fillets. Bake or pan-sear the salmon until it’s cooked to your liking. The za’atar adds a zesty, herbal flavour to the fish.
4. Za’atar Flatbread: Make a simple flatbread dough and roll it out into rounds. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle za’atar generously over the top. Bake until the bread is golden brown and serve as a side or as a base for Mediterranean-inspired pizzas.
5. Za’atar Marinated Chicken: Create a marinade by mixing za’atar with yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and a touch of olive oil. Marinate chicken thighs or breasts for a few hours or overnight, then grill or roast them for a delicious and flavourful chicken dish.
6. Za’atar Salad Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, za’atar, garlic, and a touch of honey to create a tasty salad dressing. Drizzle it over a simple salad with mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta cheese.
7. Za’atar-Crusted Roast Lamb: Rub a mixture of za’atar, olive oil, garlic, and lemon zest over a boneless leg of lamb. Roast it in the oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness. The za’atar crust will infuse the meat with aromatic flavours.
8. Za’atar Popcorn: Sprinkle za’atar over freshly popped popcorn for a unique and savoury snack. Drizzle a bit of melted butter or olive oil over the top for added richness.
9. Za’atar Potatoes: Toss baby potatoes with za’atar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast them until crispy and tender. This makes for a delightful side dish.
10. Za’atar Dipping Oil: Combine za’atar with olive oil and a pinch of salt as a flavourful dipping sauce for crusty bread.
