Homemade Za’atar Spice
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1/2 cup 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted and crushed
- 1 tablespoon sumac seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, optional
Instructions
Toast whole sesame seeds and whole sumac berries in a hot pan until fragrant, shaking often. Cool and grind. Mix with the remaining ingredients. Seal in a tight jar and keep in a dark cupboard.
This spice blend may be left “chunky” or ground finely as you desire. Do watch the sumac berries; they can be very hard and need to be broken down so there is no danger of injuring a tooth.
