Za'atar

Za’atar has been a staple in Middle-Eastern cuisine for centuries. Typically, this blend includes sumac (a sour cherry-like flavor), salt, dried thyme and/or oregano, and sesame seeds. This is a versatile blend that can be used as a finishing spice (think everything bagel mix) to a grilling and roasting seasoning and everything in between.

Yield: 5 cups, 80 servings, 1 Tbsp portions

Ingredients

4 cups sesame seeds, toasted until fragrant
2 cups dried thyme leaves
2 cups sumac
2/3 cup black pepper, ground
½ cup kosher salt

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated (due to the sesame seeds).
