Zaatar, sumac and the bright side of Middle Eastern flavor
Herb blends and tart seasonings can change a familiar piece of bread or a simple salad. You do not need a long ingredient list to notice the difference.
Start with the food
The menu describes zaatar pies with olive oil and pita chips seasoned with zaatar and sumac. These are useful starting points for exploring the herb-forward and tart parts of the flavor palette.
A practical way to explore
Try the pie as a bakery item, or put pita chips beside a dip. Pay attention to the seasoning before adding another sauce that could cover it.
Details worth checking
Blends vary and may contain sesame. Read labels for pantry products and ask about the preparation of a finished bakery item.
