Indeed this spice is! You may not have heard of it, it's Za'atar. It's one of the many spices Susan Spungen uses in her new cookbook Open Kitchen: Inspired Food for Casual Gatherings. She stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about the book and Za'atar! It's s a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern spice that really goes well on tofu, or a number of other dishes she talks about in the book. While not widely known in America, Za'atar is gaining in popularity and may be available in your grocer. She also talks about sea salt and kosher salt, along with lemon paste and other herbs and spices like Sumac that can really liven up the flavor of what you make and give it a real zing!
