Za'atar - dip

Za'atar is a mixture of wild thyme, toasted sesame, and sumac. It is very fresh, and aromatic, and is quite addictive.
It is found extensively in the eastern Mediterranean countries. This is a Lebanese recipe, but could just as easily be from any of the countries in the area.

Ingredients

25 ml Zaytoun FAIRTRADE Palestinian olive oil
1 teaspoon Za'atar herbs mixture
1 slice fresh bread
to taste FAIRTRADE freshly ground black pepper
FAIRTRADE Sources
Olive Oil
Herbs and Spices

Notes

Method

Pour the olive oil into a small bowl.
Put the za'atar mix on a side plate.
Tear off a little bread, dip in the oil and then in the za'atar.
"Eat".

Optional Extras

Enjoy a few FAIRTRADE Zaytoun Olives at the same time, they are very tasty.
For a more complex flavour, pour 10 ml of balsamic vinegar into the bowl with the oil, and dip the bread through the oil into the vinegar before dipping in the za'atar.
