In every Middle Eastern kitchen, you’re sure to find a cherished jar of za’atar spice mix. It’s not just a seasoning; it’s a taste of childhood, of family gatherings, and of comforting mornings. Many of us grew up with the simple joy of a warm flatbread, drizzled with golden olive oil, and generously dusted with za’atar. Rolled up, it’s a bite of pure nostalgia. And if you take a moment to toast it? Oh, the transformation! The flavours meld, the aroma intensifies, and it becomes an unparalleled delight. It’s more than a meal; it’s a memory, and it’s a tradition that we proudly pass on through generations.

Step 1.
In a dry fry-pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds. Stir them around occasionally to ensure they toast evenly and don’t burn. Once the sesame seeds turn golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the heat and let them cool.
Step 2.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely ground dried oregano, salt, sumac, and the toasted sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated.
