Serving suggestions

It can be used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables.

Mixed with olive oil it makes a spread called za'atar-wu-zayt as a dip for the sesame bread rings known as ka'ak.

You can spread it on a dough base and bake it as bread, in which case it is called manaeesh bi za'atar.

It is often eaten as a breakfast snack, sprinkled on labneh (yogurt that has been drained until it becomes a tangy, creamy cheese).

Za'atar is often sprinkled on hummus or served with olive oil as a spread or dip.
