Sadaf Thyme Leaves, 28gr

آویشن صدف — ۲۸ گرم

Sadaf Thyme Leaves (avishan — dried thyme) are dried thyme leaves — warmly herbal, gently earthy, and subtly floral with a delicate lemony undertone, with a softer, more refined, and more versatile herb character than the closely related oregano, making thyme one of the most broadly useful dried herbs across Persian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. Thyme is the foundational herb of za’atar — the beloved Levantine herb and spice blend of dried thyme, oregano, sumac, toasted sesame, and salt that is one of the most important, widely used, and culturally resonant condiments across Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and the broader Middle East — where thyme’s warm, delicate, and subtly floral herbal character provides the essential base note of the blend. In Persian and broader Middle Eastern cooking, dried thyme is used to season lamb, chicken, and fish before grilling and roasting, in herb-based marinades and rubs, in slow-cooked stews and soups where its gentle warmth builds into the dish over long cooking, and as a seasoning herb for flatbread dipping oils and herb-infused olive oils. Avishan (thyme and wild thyme) has a long history in Persian tebb-e sonnati as a medicinal herb with antimicrobial and respiratory support properties, brewed as a warming herbal tea. Compared to oregano, dried thyme is more delicate, more subtly floral, and more versatile in its applications, integrating into a wider range of dishes without dominating. Sadaf delivers trusted, consistent quality. The compact 28gr jar is a long-lasting everyday size.

Blend dried thyme with oregano, sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and salt in a 2:1:1:1:0.5 ratio for a classic, freshly made za’atar — mix with good olive oil and serve with warm flatbread or lavash for the essential Middle Eastern herb dipping experience, rub generously into lamb chops, whole chicken, and fish fillets alongside olive oil, garlic, and lemon for a warmly herbal, Mediterranean-style marinade before grilling or roasting, stir into slow-cooked Persian and Middle Eastern lamb stews, lentil dishes, and bean soups during cooking for a gentle, warmly herbal thyme depth that builds over long cooking, mix into olive oil with garlic and lemon for a fragrant herb oil for drizzling over hummus, labneh, and roasted vegetables, brew a tablespoon of dried thyme in hot water for 5 minutes for a warming, aromatic avishan herbal tea with a long tradition of use in Persian tebb-e sonnati for respiratory and antimicrobial support, or scatter over roasted eggplant, tomato, and potato with olive oil and salt for a herbal, warmly aromatic Mediterranean roasted vegetable dish. Delicate, floral, and warmly herbal — the thyme that makes za’atar sing.
