Zatar bread

 Zatar is  the name for a condiment made from the dried herbs, mixed with sesame seeds, dried sumac, and often salt, as well as other spices. Used in Arab cuisine, both the herb and spice mixture are popular throughout the Middle East.

 zatar is high in anti-oxidants.Zatar is traditionally dried in the sun and mixed with salt, sesame seeds and sumac. It is commonly eaten with pita(bread), which is dipped in olive oil and then zatar. When the dried herb is moistened with olive oil, the spread is known as zatar-wu-zayt . 

This mixture spread on a dough base and baked as a bread, produces manakeesh bi zaatar(zatar bread). Zatar is used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables or sprinkled onto hummus. It is also eaten with labneh (yogurt drained to make a tangy, creamy cheese), and bread and olive oil for breakfast.

This is one of the most popular and readily  available breakfasts on the go ,after  shawarma if you are going for a veg option .Its easily available in any supermarket or grocery stores.
