Za'atar roasted chicken brings the flavors of the Middle East to your kitchen. Chicken is marinated in Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and orange marmalade, then thickly coated in our organic Za'atar, a blend of sesame seeds, sumac and savory dried herbs, and roasted until golden. Serve with couscous, greens and our Za'atar Pita Chips. Gluten-free and dairy-free.

Why Za atar Seasoning from Smith and Truslow?

Za’atar Seasoning combines the tangy, lemony flavor of sumac berries, with a slightly nutty quality of sesame seeds, and a savory finish of blended herbs. Sprinkle it on vegetables, use as a rub for meats, or add to yogurt or olive oil as a dip. As with all our blends, we only use organic, gluten free, kosher and heavy metal tested ingredients.  There are no additives, so the flavor of our pure ingredients shines through.
