Za’atar – meaning ‘wild thyme’ in Arabic – is an increasingly popular Middle Eastern spice blend of toasted sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram or oregano, sumac and salt, which can be sprinkled liberally onto flatbreads, mixed with olive oil as a dip or even tossed over roasted veg. The za’atar in this recipe really brings a new flavour dimension to these crispy, salty, spicy and sweet phyllo morsels. Amazing as a canapé or a starter, these can be made ahead of time and frozen.
