Za'atar Spice Blend
From: www.joanneweir.com
Za'atar is a mix of dried herbs like hissop and sesame seeds and used
on EVERYTHING…salad, labneh (drained yogurt cheese) and seeded bread
with olive oil. The mixture is as varied as the people making it and
while visiting Israel, I saw one vendor use hyssop in his za'atar while another added thyme. One used sumac, another added winter savory and no matter which one I tried, they were all incredibly delicious.
To make about 1/2 cup of za'atar:
3 Tbsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp lightly toasted sesame seeds
1 Tbsp ground sumac
1/2 tsp dried oregano or marjoram
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Put in a spice grinder. Pulse a few times to mix and break up some of
the seeds—there should still be many whole seeds visible.
Store in a cool, dark place for up to six months.
