My favorite is the zattar pie- two pitas grilled with tomatos, onions, sheep’s milk cheese, olive oil, and plenty of zattar.

Hyssop is one of many names for this herb.

From wikipedia:

“Latin names for the herbs called za’atar include Origanum majorana (sweet marjoram), Origanum syriacum (also known as Biblical hyssop, Syrian oregano and wild marjoram), and Thymus capitatus (thyme). Za’atar barri (“wild za’atar”) is identified as Origanum vulgare which in English can refer to European oregano, oregano, pot marjoram, wild marjoram, winter majoram, and wintersweet.”

The term “hyssop” isn’t nearly as useful as most people wouldn’t know what it tastes like.

I’m pretty sure that Zaatar is hyssop.
Thyme is Cornit or Timin in Hebrew.

Hi Mona! Thank you kindly! Za’atar on pizza sounds delicious. And with grilled chicken… yum.

Gosh, I wonder how many times I walked right by the herb and never even batted an eyelash. I’ll keep an eye out for it now for sure!
