Recipes Cuisine Middle Eastern Lebanese Homemade Za'atar 5.0 (3) 2 Reviews 2 Photos This za'atar spice recipe is easy to make at home from scratch with just four ingredients and is a great substitute for store-bought. While in Lebanon wild thyme is used, regular thyme from the supermarket or your garden makes a fine substitute. Za'atar refers both to the thyme plant itself, as well as this spice mix.
