Description
Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend consisting of aromatic and sour sumac, fragrant thyme, sesame seeds, and salt. It's easy, it's delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp dried thyme
- 4 tbsp sumac
- 4 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cumin seeds, optional
- 1 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, can use regular sea salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a spice grinder* and grind until a fine powder.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Delicious with bread and olive oil, or on roasted vegetables.
Notes
* And if you don't have a spice grinder, place the ingredients in a plastic bag and bang it with something hard, e.g. a rolling pin. It probably won't be as fine a powder as in a spice grinder, but still very tasty.
Note that the recipe is updated, but the photos are not. In the photos I have 1/2 cup thyme, 4 tbsp sumac, 2 tbsp sesame seeds and 1 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt. I decided I had too much thyme in my original recipe and so I have changed it to be more balanced.
