Ingredients

1/2 cup of sumac

1/4 cup of thyme

1/4 cup of marjoram

1/4 cup of oregano

a small handful of sesame seeds

1 to 2 teaspoons of salt - depending on taste, but you really need 1 for a start

Directions

Roast the sesame seeds and give them a bit of a grind with a motar and pestle. A coffee grinder is also good for this.

Then mix in all the other stuff

Store it in a well sealed container.

Can be used in marinades, as a rub on all types of meat, great as a sprinkle on meats before roasting also vegetables.

Also beats buying the inferior commercial versions.

Zatar is mostly used with breads and according to me, the best of all uses for zatar is: mix a couple of tablespoons with sufficient olive oil to make a runny paste.

Spread it on some flat bread and grill until lightly browned.

You will need to put a second one under the griller as soon as you removed the first. You will be requiring seconds after eating the first while it's hot

A friend from the middle east introduced zatar to me. He explained that this recipe varies from region to region. So, be prepared to adjust to suit your own tastes.

I agree with you Trev...I would love to spread this on some bread! Maybe some homemade Naan bread! Is there something I can use as a sub for sumac? I don't know if I'll be able to find that spice.
