Za'atar

Spices spice things up

I love sprinkling spices over anything I cook - because not only do they add flavour but also health: they are packed with antioxidants!

Servings: 1 small jar

Total time: 10 min

For the za’atar

Ingredients

1 tbsp dried thyme 

1 tbsp sumac 

1 tbsp ground coriander 

1 tbsp cumin seeds

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1/2 tsp salt 

Instructions

1. Heat up a pan to medium heat, then place all the spices in it and toast them until fragrant (for about 5 minutes with occasional shaking of the pan).

2. Transfer the spices to a blender, then blitz them up a few times until they’re crushed but not powdery.

3. Let the za’atar cool slightly, then place in a jar.

4. Sprinkle over salads, hummus, roasted veggies or whatever else you fancy!
