This Middle Eastern spice mixture is so delicious we suggest doubling the recipe and using the extra for a snack: Dunk some bread (such as pita) in flavorful olive oil and then in the za’atar. Or sprinkle za’atar over plain yogurt and drizzle with olive oil, and you've got a terrific dip.
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tips)
- 2 teaspoons ground sumac*
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
-
Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl.
Cooks' notes:
- Za’atar keeps, chilled in a sealed plastic bag, 1 week.
- *Available at Middle Eastern markets and by mail order from Kalustyan’s (212-685-3451).
