The people of Palestine have so much love and pride for their Zaatar. It's an essential part of their cuisine that is uniquely blended in every town and region. It ties them to their heritage and that's why it's such an important food. There's no other spice blend that tastes remotely similar, and it is one of the most flavourpacked foods on earth. Today I'll show you three nontraditional uses for it, that you can apply to your everyday cooking.
