Zatar Cheese
on Toast

Zeit + Zatar

‘Zeit’ is the colloquial term for extra virgin olive oil in the Arabic speaking world.

This Zatar and Olive Oil dip is a traditional, flavourful treat enjoyed throughout the Middle East. The earthiness of the zatar combines perfectly with the richness of the olive oil, and the warm, crispy pitta bread is the ideal vessel for dipping.

  • 3 tablespoons Baity Palestinian zatar

  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (good-quality oil is key)

3. Serve

  • Serve the Zatar and Olive Oil Dip in a shallow dish with the warm, toasted pitta bread on the side.
