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?
@@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!
I have the book! I love it!
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
my mom was gifted a 1 kg bag of zaatar and gave half of it to me, will definitely try your recommendations! shukran~
I got zaatar as a gift from a Palestinian shop when I bought olive oil. I mix the olive oil and the zaatar in a container and I put it on kebabs and falafel wraps. Will be making scrambled eggs!
I'm Indian, born an raised in the middle east, and vegan and I feel like I have such a vast amount of flavors / ingredients / herbs in my cupboard. Food never gets boring. Having Syrian Za'atar, toum, khoobs, tofu feta and watching this :)
Fantastic combo! =)
As a Palestinian myself, I am so happy that you are proud of your heritage and that you love your country Palestine and your hometown Ramallah. We are proud of you
Shukran Rami! I appreciate your support :)
Za'atar and lebnah! So good on some nice warm pita with a splash of good olive oil, diced tomato, and diced cucumber!!!!
The best! 👍
Yup
Most delicious thing I've ever eaten
I came across Za'atar for the first time last year and I haven't looked back since. I am completely obsessed with it and sumac. I just made a cucumber and red onion salad with those two and omg the flavor explosion.
How do you make red onion recepie please
As a Palestinian I snort zataar every morning to wake me up. JK, I love it just with olive oil and bread. But I tried it with eggs for the first time, I have no idea why I never tried it before, new addiction!
soulseeker lol best comment ever, yeah Palestinians live to freebase za’atar. You can try it on hard boiled eggs too!
@@blanchetv I as in Indian reside in KSA & I just can't resist the Arab cuisine, like @soulseeker said it is truly addictive!
Equal parts thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. Yummy
2:36 you turned my family on to the 2 from your channel years ago and we’ve been hooked ever since. I’m making your garlic turmeric rice right now ❤ all my love and respect to you and the beautiful Palestinian people 🇵🇸 💪🏽 🇵🇷 somos uno!
Thank you so much I appreciate you! Somos uno!
I love Za’atar, and I love sumac as well. I would love to see a vid about that too! 😋
First time I had that was in Jerusalem just dry without the oil with the HUGE fresh sesame bagels with loads of sesame seeds. I have been a fan ever since and with oil it is so wonderful.
Thanks for this video Blanche, didn't know it had that many health benefits 👍👍
Just bought zaatar in a pack and this video was super useful. My son loves it so today I'll be making it for him inshaAllah. Thanks from UAE!
Great!! thank you! I am half Syrian from Los Angeles and grew up with my dad eating zataar all the time with bread (baked on). I actually just bought some pita and zataar today and went on youtube to find a way to put them 2 together and didn't think of dipping it, DUH! lol.... We usually get our fresh Zataar + bread baked at Forn Al Hara in Anaheim, CA. its great there. great reviews on Yelp too!
Anaheim has the BEST Middle Eastern markets, so lucky you! Need to check out Forn al Hara (which means oven of the neighborhood in Arabic) next time I am in town, thanks for the tip!
Olive oil goes so well with eggs! I used to use butter, but I only use olive oil now.
I agree 💯! 👍
Excellent Introduction to Za'atar & its benefits. Thanks Blanche.
Love it! Great thorough video on Zaatar!
Thank you beautiful lady for sharing your culture and cuisine! My mother in law brought some Za'atar back from her visits to Middle East and I ate this delicious Za'atar until it was all gone! Loved it!
So glad you liked it--hope you get to have some more in the future, so many health benefits! ;)
Fabulous video ..loves zaatar so much ..thnx for sharing 🌹
Olive and eggs....once u eat it that way you'll never go back! My kids call this tita's eggs! The best. Love your channel!
Thank you dear! Yes I cannot eat eggs any other way, the best!
I love this . My dear friend gave me a jar of Za’atar tar for Christmas. I did not know what it is. Now I do! I’m so excited . Plus I found this cooking show . Double luck. ❤️❤️
Welcome to the channel and Happy New Year!
Thank you for sharing. I’m new to za’ater & sumac spice & love it 👌🏼😄👍🏼
I love Arab bread with libni and zaatar for breakfast with a mug of hot tea! Best. Ever.

Love zaater with some food, ! It looks delicious!
Thank you! I have zaatar and did not know what to do with it!
Thank you for sharing, I’m new to za’atar & sumac spice, love this addition to my toolbox 👌🏼😄👍🏼
Really glad I stumbled across your video and great recipe ideas, really looking forward to trying eggs like this and great to learn of how healthy this spice blend is too
Za'atar is life changing and great on so many foods, hope you like it!
Doing the zejt u saghtar (Maltese spellings) right now---it's always so worth it :)
Can I say Im so happy you pronounce it the way my family pronounce it!!
Thank you! Another fantastic video. I'm obsessed with the Levantine Cuisines. I eat so much Za'atar, Sumac & Pomegranate Molasses. 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!

Thank you!!!
My pantry is alive now, bec of you, spices has been sittin around ,didnt know d versatility of zaatar. 👌God bless you💜💜💜
Glad to help, hope you enjoy the za'atar! ;)
love this stuff!
Thank you for this. After hearing you mention za’atar so frequently, this was the video to push me to try some (thanks Tara and Eloise for suggesting). 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 :-)
Awesome! I actually mentioned you in the video I am releasing next week, a video featuring a vegan recipe, a vegetarian recipe...and you guessed it- Zatar! ;) Thanks as always for your support!
Chopped hard boiled eggs+ brown rice+ chopped olives/pickles+ tuna+ capers/roasted red pepper/chopped anchovies...+olive oil to taste+ a generous sprinkle of zaatar is a delicious comfort dish I once put together by using scraps from my pantry that has become a staple since. Very customizable also. I've been using zaatar for years so much that at this point I can say I've become addicted
Wow sounds like a fascinating combination! Truly mediterranean, glad you like za'atar too! ;)
I have been using za'atar for years on pizza and stuff. Always good. The sumac is the key.
I haven't found studies that support the show iron absorption is better after consuming olive oil. Anyway, za'atar looks yummy!
ZAATAR is very good to fight off some of the covid symptons such as coughing.
I need to try this
Amazing spices Blanche....nice uses!.....Enjoy!
Thank you dear! ;)
I shop at a local middle eastert market alot and I've been using sumac in place of salt , it's very tasty on veggies now I'm going to have to buy za'atar. Thanks for sharing.
Sumac is wonderful because it is savory, a little sour like lemon, and has such a pretty color! ;)
sumac is great but always buy from a reputable source :-)
Sumac and zaatar are great substitute for salt
I put bought zaatar and tried it in my omelette and enjoyed it..
I used it in my cooked lentils this morning.
How much? a teaspoon? half a teaspoon?
Newbee, here.
I Looove zaa'ter.We have something little similar is origano....but is not zaa'ter.Next time I will travel to Dubai I will buy lots of spices.Thank you for this video ❤❤
I found this spice from a food order love it looked everywhere for it could not find it. Then I went on Amazon and they had it
They have really good ones in middle eastern markets as well.
Love it on Roast Chicken and toast with Olive oil.
Yesss! It seems like za’atar is the new “it” spice and that makes me so happy! And you’re totally right, my tete would ALWAYS tell me to eat zeit w zaatar before a big exam 😂 all you need is cheese and a good cup of shai and it’s the best meal ever!
Seriously! 👍
It is becoming very popular
I'm gonna have to get some of that has many benefits I eat turmeric in my food alot I remember u saying it's very healthy for u with alot of benefits to
I must buy! I can hardly wait to try!
Justin Gooding it will be amazing
I just bought my first jar, now what?
Thank you so much for this. I'd never tried za'atar and asked for some for Xmas and now I have a nice jar of it. Your suggestions were exactly what I was looking for. I'd also be interested to know if you have some suggestions for using baharat; I bought a big jar of it along with my beloved ras el hanout, and while I use the latter in EVERYTHING I'm a little stumped finding a way to let the baharat really shine.
Baharat works the best with ground meat to make shish kebab style, or as a marinade for chicken and lamb with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. Hope that helps!
@@blanchetv It does, thank you! I am allergic to beef so I eat a lot of lamb, next time I make some I'll use the baharat!
thank you so much! bless!
fantastic video!
Zaatar is amazing I eat it for breakfast everyday
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😊
Love the idea of it on popcorn, that would totally work!
Cream cheese..... going to try.
Thanks I learnt some thing new.
Zaatar scrambled eggs on top of rice! That's how I like my breakfast.
Eggs on the rice??! Never heard of it that way!!
😊😍👍❤
Blanchet
Can you make a video on how to do this mixture
Great idea will add this to my video list!
I love zaater so much .. how is the sea of herbs brand with regards to freshness and quality compared to like what I can get at my middle eastern local market ? And how do they ship to the states? Ty
Hi Nathan, I think we had this conversation before and you decided not to order from them for allergy reasons. I think their quality is superior and reminds me of the authentic Za'Atar of my childhood. They do ship to the states because they have a base in Florida.
Love the music while you cook the eggs
Thank you, my dear friend 🙏
I don't think she could look more beautiful! I cant wait to try my Jordanian Za'atar !
Genius video!!
Definitely sea of herbs has best Zatar, always visit them when I go Jerusalem.
I love Za'atar. I put it on all kinds of stuff.
Awesome, Could you please do a video on Kibbeh Spice?
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/plTjBdwy4HI/v-deo.html
Try zeit and zaatar dip with bread, and swallow the food with a cup of a tea
Great video! One more cheese you forgot to mention was nabulsi for the eggs, how could you:) it works!
True, very hard to come by nabulsi in the States though :)
Just bought Palestinian Zaatar at the store and had no idea what to do with it, thanks for the ideas!
Oh good glad to help, enjoy!
My son name Zaatar that’s how much I love Zaatar
Lol now that is true love!
I love more the zaathar because of u tnx!
Aww thank you dear!! xo
It tastes so good it take some on small spoon and snack on it ;)
Thanks for the information. Do we need to store Za'atar in fridge
I like to store za'atar in the fridge to prevent the sesame seeds from going rancid. But generally Arabs go through so much of it so quickly they just keep it in a container in the pantry. Depends on how quickly you eat it lol.
Olive oil and eggs are amazing I do that all the time
Could you please talk about Baharat Seasoning. I don’t know how to use it.thank you.
Baharat makes a great rub for any kind of meat or chicken before roasting the the oven. Even kabob you can combine baharat with salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice and grill the kabobs.
Palestinian zaatar is the best! Finally found it in our local Armenian market.
Awesome!
Yes!!! Zaatar is my every morning ^_^
Of course my sista!
Exactly
Hi Blanche can you please tell me where can I find sumac or a trusted site and company where can I order it from?
I like to get my sumac straight from a Palestinian spice shop, they are amazing: seaofherbs.com/product/sumac-spice-100gm/ It doesn't get more authentic or fresh than this, and they ship to the USA!
Do you make your za'atar with olive oil ahead of time or do you leave it dry?
you leave it dry, and stir when ready to eat as you wish, or dip bread in one bowl of oil, and the other bowl of za'atar.
i eat zaatar sprinkle to scramble eggs. delicious. i dont mix it with it olive oil. it will taste different
Beautiful presentation! Thank you!
Can't think of a better way to start my day other than looking at you!
Wow I bought zaatar 2mis ago I wasn’t sure what to do with it thanks. I’d live to hear about SUMAC
My favorite recipe that features sumac: ua-cam.com/video/A10YfnB0YeQ/v-deo.html
Everything you makes looks mouthwateringly delicious. But what I really want to learn is the art of pronouncing Ghamis!
That's a hard one lol, kind of gutteral GH is hard to pronounce ;)
Yo Blance, Imma buy Za'atar now
What about black seed oil how do you apply in ur daily food..and arabic gum🙏🏼 thank you maam for zaatar info. Now i know how to use it. Very beneficial. Thank you again
Here is my recipe using black seeds, thanks for watching: ua-cam.com/video/jKz0CEgen0c/v-deo.htmlsi=phgvS_iX7K-l73MN I don't use Arabic gum much.
What store would have either sumac or zaatar. We have a Patel Brothers Indian grocery store and a Grand Asia Market in my city. (USA)
The Indian one might have it - a middle eastern store is even better. If not you can purchase it online, this is a good brand: amzn.to/2YvJjSy
Amazing Love from india
Hi Blanche can you tell me about baharta
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
I'm an instant subscriber because you said Palestine without thinking twice. Love. 💚

I like food. It's good🤓
Is it difficult to grow zaatar in Denver CO ? Thanks ✌
The herbs for za'atar are grown in the mediterranean where it is fairly warmer than Colorado all year round. Za'atar is basically: 4 tablespoons ground thyme or savory (see note) 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted 4 teaspoons ground sumac 1 teaspoon coarse salt
@@blanchetv thanks. ✌
See you, dear blanche.😘 God bless you.😍❤️😘
God bless you too!
is there any other video related to Zaatar
on your channle
Merry Christmas to you and your family. عيد ميلاد مجيد. المجد لله في العلى و على الأرض السلام و في الناس المسره
Merry Christmas to you too and best wishes for the new year!
Blanche- I received my Za’atar from www.SeaofHerbs.com and it is AMAZING!! I also bought sumac. This is the REAL DEAL!!! The spices are so fresh.
Isn't it awesome stuff? Glad you tried it out, the spices in the supermarket taste so bland in comparison lol ;)
Just now trying your egg recipe...love it! Didn't have the pita bread, but used some toast and sprinkled a little lemon infused olive oil with Zaatar and it is really good! Thank you, from Texas! 🤠
So glad you liked it, thanks for being adventurous and trying it out!
Just wanted to mention the www.SeaofHerbs.com 20% off deal is only good until March 31st 2018- Promo code BLANCHE20 Thanks for watching! ;)
I missed it!
I roll my kefir labneh on zatar , is delicious!.
Excellent idea!!
Hi have you done one on Sumac?? I buy Za'atar every time I go to Dubai ever since watching you. I never have enough. Thank you.
Wonderful to hear--great idea I can do one on Sumac, I just ordered a bunch recently! ;)
@@blanchetv Thank you so much
Also saffron. I'm pretty sure I'm not using it the right way as I never taste it in my food
