We mix it in our workshop in Klingenberg am Main from roasted sesame, sumac, wild thyme, lemon thyme and a trace of nigella and salt. The profile: citrus-tart from the sumac, resinous-earthy from the wild thyme, nutty-warm from the sesame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassically, mix 2 tbsp zatar with 4 tbsp good olive oil and dip flatbread into it. Scattered over labneh, hummus or yoghurt the blend becomes a fresh finish, rounded off with a dash of walnut oil. As a marinade base for chicken or lamb, mix zatar with calamansi vinegar and olive oil, rub into the meat and let it steep for two hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e never fry zatar in hot oil – the sumac burns and turns bitter.
