Za’atar Day, on September 23, is observed as a cultural holiday that celebrates the Za’atar herb which is a staple in most traditional dishes in North Africa and the Middle East. Za’atar is used as a seasoning for meats and vegetables or it can be sprinkled as a seasoning on hummus. Za’atar is also eaten with labneh, a tangy, creamy cheese made out of yogurt, bread, and olive oil for breakfast. Za’atar features most commonly in Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as other places in the Arab world. The Lebanese specialty “shanklish,” which is dry-cured balls of labneh, can be rolled in za’atar to form its outer coating.
