*Make Za'atar

I've just added sumac to the spice range. It is a really versatile spice, and I've found quite a few people who love it and use it in all kinds of ways. I'd never used it before but it really does have a lovely flavour.

Za'atar is a Middle Eastern Blend. You can use it as a coating for any kind of meat, but chicken would be particularly good. In the Middle East it is sprinkled over flatbread with olive oil, and it compliments any kind of carbohydrates, such as potatoes. You can also mix it with butter and put it on toast, or with bread you bake.
YOU WILL NEED
1 tbsp dried/fresh thyme
1 tsp sumac
1/2 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
METHOD
1.
Roast the sesame seeds in a pan till golden.
2.
In a mortar & pestle gently grind the dried thyme or finely chop if using fresh.
3.
Mix together all the ingredients, and use as required.
