Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • ½ tablespoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons marjoram
  • 1 tablespoon ground sumac
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Place fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind until fragrant and until the seeds are no longer whole. 
  • Add the thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, kosher salt, garlic, and brown sugar to mortar and pestle and gently combine. 
  • Finally, toss the sesame seeds with the rest of the spices. Do not use the pestle to grind the sesame seeds, those should remain whole. 
  • Transfer the za’atar seasoning to a jar with a cover and store in a cool, dry place.

Tips & Notes

  • If you do not have a mortar and pestle, try using a coffee grinder to grind the seeds. Just be sure to rinse the coffee out of the grinder first.
