Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ¼ cup sumac
- 3 tablespoon ground thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- To start, toast sesame seeds in a pan until fragrant and their color starts to change. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, remove the pan from heat and allow the sesame seeds to cool.
- Meanwhile, measure out the other recipe ingredients (sumac, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and sea salt). Once the sesame seeds have cooled off, mix all the ingredients together.
- Pour the spice mixture into a spice jar and store for up to three months. Using a funnel makes this task a little easier!
Notes
- Making Zaatar in smaller quantities is better than making large batches. If you do make a larger batch, store the extra spice blend in ziplock bags in the freezer until needed.
