Good quality za’atar will smell sharp and almost spicy, with a rich nuttiness. If you detect a musty or rancid odor, shop elsewhere.

    Ingredients


    • 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
      2 tbsp dried oregano
      2 tbsp dried thyme
      1 tbsp ground sumac
      1 tsp sea salt

    Directions

    Stir all ingredients in a bowl and then partially crush using a pestle and mortar or a coffee mill. Don’t crush or mill the mixture too much; you want the end result to be slightly textured, with flecks of whole sesame seeds still visible.

    sprinkle over baked pitas; hummus; grilled fish, poultry or meats; or whiske into salad dressings.
