Ingredients

1 servings

2 tbsp dried oregano, preferably Greek or Turkish
2 tbsp sumac
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp dried marjoram or additional oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl or jar, and stir to combine.
For enhanced flavor, warm the spices together in a medium skillet over medium heat, until fragrant and the sesame seeds are starting to turn golden. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. (Skip this step if you will be baking your za’atar on pita bread, which essentially does the same thing.)
Store za’atar in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
