Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano, preferably Greek or Turkish
  • 2 tablespoons sumac
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried marjoram or additional oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instruction

  • Simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl or jar, and stir to combine.
  • For enhanced flavor, warm the spices together in a medium skillet over medium heat, until fragrant and the sesame seeds are starting to turn golden. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. (Skip this step if you will be baking your za’atar on pita bread, which essentially does the same thing.)
  • Store za’atar in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
