Ingredients
1/2 | cup | toasted sesame seeds |
2 | Tbsp. | ground thyme |
2 | Tbsp. | ground sumac berries (find in spice stores and markets specializing in Middle Eastern cuisines) |
Directions
- Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds to the skillet and toast for 5 minutes, or until lightly brown; allow the seeds to cool slightly.
- Add the toasted sesame seeds and spices to a small coffee or spice grinder (or use a mortar and pestle) and grind until the sesame seeds are just broken, but not powdered. Store the za’atar in an airtight container for up to 6 months. This no-salt spice mixture is delicious on chicken, steamed vegetables, and hummus.
