Traditional Za’atar Recipe

Za’atar is always comprised of these three main ingredients: Thyme, Sumac and Toasted Sesame Seeds. We like this recipe because it includes Marjoram, and Cumin, which gives it a nice aroma and warm flavor. The salt and pepper are optional, since most of the recipes that call for za’atar also call for salt and pepper.  The one exception is if you are going to use the za’atar the Lebanese way - which is to dip bread in olive oil, dip it in za’atar, and then just eat it. IN that case, you might want the salt and pepper.

Directions:

Mix herbs and spices together, and store in an air-tight jar.
