Za'atar Spice Recipe
Ingredients
1 tbsp
(3 Teaspoons)
dried thyme- crushed (or sub oregano)
1 tbsp
(3 Teaspoons)
cumin (see instructions about whole or ground)
1 tbsp
(3 Teaspoons)
coriander
1 tbsp
(3 Teaspoons)
toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp
(3 Teaspoons)
sumac
½
tsp kosher salt
¼
tsp or more aleppo chili flakes- optional
Method
- Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
- For the most flavor, toast whole seeds (cumin seeds and coriander seeds, 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) each) until fragrant, then grind. This will make the most flavorful zaatar. If you don’t have whole seeds, feel free to use ground spices.
