Tear and share Zaatar bread
The most question I get asked all the time when talking about one of the most famous Lebanese breakfast (Mankousheh) is: ” What is Zaatar? ”
Zaatar is a prepared condiment and is generally made with ground dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, Sumac and some combination thereof, mixed with toasted sesame seed.
Is Zaatar good for me?
The answer is YES, YES & YES !! EVERYTHING Mediterranean is good for you LOL! ( this is my passion for the Mediterranean diet talking.)
But actually, Za’atar has some truly impressive health benefits, including its ability to improve the immune system, boost skin health, build strong bones, increase circulation, clear out the respiratory tracts, soothe inflammation, boost energy, improve mood, aid memory, and potential to treat chronic diseases.
So next time you come across this amazing spice grab it and start using it in your cooking š„.
Now let’s start baking
Try and go the traditional way, trust me it will be a good arm workout LOL !!
