This is a traditional Palestinian-Lebanese way of making Zaatar. It can be then eaten by dipping bread in olive oil and in the Zaatar or as part of another recipe. Will hold for a long time in the pantry. This recipe scales for larger amounts so long you preserve the ratios.
Ingredients
- 1 cup zaatar leaves (without the stalks), cleaned and dried.
- 1 cup sesame (optionally roasted).
- 1 cup sumac.
- 1 teaspoon salt.
- citric acid salt (optional), for extra kick if the sumac wasn’t enough for you
Directions
- Lightly roast the sesame in a wide pan until it get a golden brown color.
- Wait for the sesame to completely cool down.
- Mix everything together, starting from the zaatar and sesame while adjusting the sumac (optionally citric acid) and salt to taste.
- Store in an airtight jar or container.
