Instructions
Dried Za’atar Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the sumac
, thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and salt (if using). This will result in a coarser texture. For a finer textured za’atar, add the ingredients to a mortar and pestle and crush the sumac, herbs, and sesame seeds together. When the consistency is that of a spice rub, it’s done.
- Transfer the dried za’atar to a sealable jar and use within six months.
Fresh Za’atar Directions
- Measure out the thyme, oregano, and marjoram leaves and mince them with a sharp knife. Transfer this to a bowl and stir in the sumac
- When refrigerated in a sealable jar, fresh za’atar keeps for up to a week.
