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

  1. 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)
  2. 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.
