Za’atar-Birdy
Makes 3/4 Cup
1⁄2 cup excellent-quality Mediterranean savory or 1⁄2 cup thyme
1⁄4 cup sumaq (sumac)
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Grind the savory, sumac, salt and sesame seed in a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder until you obtain a fine powder.
Keep in a sealed jar in a cool, dark and dry place.
To use: mix 1-2 tblsps of zaatar with 1-2 tblsps extra-virgin olive oil and spread on warm, toasted bread.
Top with freshly-ground black pepper.
You can also top pita breads with the zaatar and olive oil mixture and bake in the oven to make pita crisps.
Zaatar will begin to lose its flavour after 2 months.
