Za'atar - Spice mix
Za'atar is an Arabic spice blend made with toasted sesame seeds. There are many variations using cumin, savoury, caraway seeds, fennel seeds etc.
The one given here is a lovely citrus mix, thanks to the addition of sumac.
You can rub it on chickens or fish prior to roasting, add a small amount to vinaigrettes, add to olive oil as dip for toasted bread, roll meatballs in it prior to sealing, sprinkle over hummous...
There are hundreds of recipes using it, it's very easy to make, and keeps for months in a sealed jar.
Gotta be done really...
