Zaatar Recipe

Zaatar Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup sumac
  • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  1. Put the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the seeds, tossing the pan occasionally, until they become fragrant and start to lightly brown. Immediately transfer them to a bowl to cool; if you leave them to cool in the pan, they could burn.
  2. Stir in the sumac, thyme, cumin, and salt. Transfer to a small jar with a lid and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
