blanchetv Random question? Your book arrived today and I’m making this recipe but in the video you say equal parts of sumac, sesame seed, and thyme but the book has different measurements? Should I add more sumac and toasted sesame seed?
@blanchetv

@@cherilynellis9157 First thank you for getting the book! Often times when I make a video, I still experiment with the recipe until I like it even more. The recipes in the book reflect that further experimentation, so I would use the book recipe first. The rest is a matter of preference, for instance you can't go wrong adding a little more sumac if you like a more lemony flavor, or a little more sesame if you like a nuttier flavor. Thanks again and hope this helped!

in Lebanon used to mix it with omelet , other times mix zaatar and labneh in the omelet and the secret is you have to stir everything while being fried best way with buttter and do not mix the zaatar with olive oil when making the omelet , today can not use yok so i use egg white and zaatar and onion . try zaatar and white cheese , man-ouchi with tomatoes and or with onions , barely sprinkle some with salad but lots with omelet . When making man-ouchi for variety crack some peanuts and pistachio mix with zaatar peanuts smaller pieces than the pistachio

Ground sumac berries give za’atar a tangy flavor, Nutritionally, sumac is rich in quercetin which neutralizes free radicals. Sumac also has 66 times more antioxidants than blueberries. In one scientific study, sumac even inhibited pancreatic lipase, which is an enzyme that breaks down fats for digestion. Therefore, fewer calories from fat were absorbed when ingested with sumac in this particular study. The immune boosting abilities of za’atar come from the thyme. Thyme can help clear the respiratory system, which is why some herbalists create a tincture of thyme tea to combat the common cold. The polyphenols in thyme or oregano may also have direct mood-boosting effects by impacting the hormones being released and regulated throughout the body. This is why many Arab holistic doctors prescribe thyme for depression. The oil rich sesame seeds in za’atar have many health benefits as well, and have been utilized in holistic medicine for thousands of years. These seeds may protect against heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. They are high in magnesium, which lowers blood pressure, as well as vitamin E which prevents plaque build up in the arteries. Sesame seeds, both unhulled and hulled, are also rich in several nutrients that boost bone health, like calcium, manganese, and zinc.

I tried it three of the ways you mentioned: zeit u za’atar; mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper as a salad dressing; and the scrambled eggs and goat cheese. Totally digging it - subtle, but with this interesting tang that must be from the sumac. It’s like a middle eastern furikake; I am definitely going to try making za’atar onigiri someday :-)

I sprinkle over everything, from my salads, in dressings, over hummus or moutabel, over my falafel(with red onion, tomato, tabbouleh, hummus in pita), tomato on toast too, lol. I suffer from Fibromyalgia & it makes such a difference! I also make a couple different Za'atar blends. I was given this Jordanian version which adds cumin, garlic powder, turmeric & a couple other spices which ups the anti-inflammation even further. One of my favourite things is Mujaddara (lentils & rice as you know, I love your mum in that video) I make with my Jordanian Za'atar, served with tomato, cucumber, red onion with lemon juice, sprinkled with sumac & of course fresh yoghurt! As you can see I was super excited to see your new video.

Oh I forgot to mention my emergency entertaining trick. I like making my own labneh balls & keeping in fridge ready to go. I drizzle some with olive oil, fresh herbs, lemon zest & sumac. The rest with pomegranate molasses & roll in za'taar, served wth homemade pita chips. It also works with goats milk chevre if ur out of labneh.

Wow Kerry thanks for sharing your story and so glad it has helped your fibromyalgia--your fantastic diet has so many wonderful anti-inflammatory elements in it! Love your idea of rolling the lebneh in the molasses first, then the zatar, very nice presentation!

It is a spice mix, a typical mix would be like this: 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tablespoon ground coriander 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon ground cloves 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tablespoon paprika

za'tar is NOT the same as thyme. Check it. (BTW it is za'tar, not za'atar). Thanks.

Yes it is not, but in the United States, true za'atar is harder to come by.

Love Zaatar, in any way. I take it with me when I travel sometimes. It tastes great on cream cheese too! I also heard people used it on popcorn😊
