Yield Makes around 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup picked fresh za'atar or oregano leaves (or 6 tablespoons dried oregano)
3 tablespoons dried marjoram
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
4 teaspoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground sumac
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • If using fresh za'atar or oregano, arrange it on a towel-lined plate and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until dry and crumbly, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Crumble the leaves by hand or in a spice grinder until almost fine (the way dried herbs look), then combine in a medium bowl with the marjoram, sesame seeds, thyme, sumac, and salt. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
