HOMEMADE ZA'ATAR



Homemade Za'atar image

This za'atar spice recipe is easy to make at home from scratch with just four ingredients. While in Lebanon wild thyme is used, regular thyme from the supermarket or your garden makes a fine substitute. Za'atar refers both to the thyme plant itself, as well as this spice mix.

ZA'ATAR SPICE BLEND



Za'atar Spice Blend image

Herby, tangy, nutty, and slightly salty, this Middle Eastern blend of herbs and spices elevates every dish it touches

Provided by Adeena Sussman

Categories     Spice     Herb     Oregano     Thyme

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.

ZA'ATAR



Za'atar image

Za'atar is the name for both a traditional Middle Eastern seasoning blend and the pungent green herb that gives the blend its intense, earthy character. The hardy herb, which grows wild, tastes like a combination of oregano, marjoram, summer savory and thyme - all of which can be used as substitutes if dried za'atar isn't available. As with all spice blends, recipes vary widely depending on the region and the cook, but this one, adapted from Lior Lev Sercarz of La Boîte in New York, includes ground sumac berries for acidity, toasted sesame seeds for their rich, earthy notes, and a little salt as well. Za'atar can be used in marinades for grilled or roasted poultry or meats, mixed into dips, salads and egg dishes, or set on the table to be sprinkled on dishes as a bright and herby condiment.
