Ingredients
1/2 kg za'tar leaves, dried 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3 Tbsp Sumac (a Middle Eastern spice with a deep burgundy color and a tangy flavour) 1/2 Tbsp dill weed 1 tsp salt 1/2 Tbsp cumin seeds 1/2 Tbsp coriander seeds 1/2 tsp citric acid 1 cup freshly toasted sesame seeds (toasted over a small flame and cooled)
Method
- Using a spice grinder, grind Za'tar till very fine. Rub with olive oil till it becomes a bit shinny (take your time to do this...spread the love)
- Toast cumin and coriander seeds and cool off. Grind all spices in the spice grinder till they are fine. Mix with Za'tar and add toasted sesame seeds. Give it a taste to check if it needs salt or citric acid.
