How to Make Za Atar Extended Version
- Toast 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds, and 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from pan and let cool completely.
- Toast an additional 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in the same pan until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon of anise seeds, 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds, and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the pan. Toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from pan and let cool completely.
- Once all seeds and spices are completely cool, combine (except the extra tablespoon of sesame seeds) the toasted sesame seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, coriander, anise, fennel, and cumin in a spice grinder. Grind until the mixture is halfway powdery.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sea salt, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon of sumac to the spice grinder. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of whole sesame seeds using a wire whisk to gently incorporate.
- Transfer the finished za'atar blend to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
