From the Test Kitchen

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern herb blend of dried wild thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and sumac. The ratio of the herbs and the flavor of the blend vary depending on where the za’atar is produced. In the 12th century, it’s said that the famous Spanish-Jewish philosopher Maimonides prescribed it as a remedy for various ailments.
