Mymoune Zaatar

Mymouné zaatar is made to a recipe typical to the mountainous region of Lebanon where the company is based. Try zaatar the traditional way by mixing with olive oil to form a runny paste – then brush onto flatbread, heat and roll it up to eat. Flatbreads of this type are called manoushi, and are a popular snack and breakfast food in Lebanon and Syria. Also try using zaatar in marinades and dry rubs for lamb, chicken and fish.
