Post: Za’atar

It can be bought, or – you can make your own

Ingredients

1. 1 tablespoon dried thyme or oregano
2. 1 tablespoon ground cumin
3. 1 tablespoon ground coriander
4. 1 tablespoon toasted  sesame seeds
5. 1 tablespoon sumac
6. ½ teaspoon kosher salt
7. ¼ teaspoon or more aleppo chili flakes- optional

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
2. For the most flavor, toast whole seeds ( cumin and coriander seeds) until fragrant, then grind.
3. This will make the most flavorful zaatar. If you don’t have whole seeds, feel free to use ground spices.
