Servings: 24
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.
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.
