Ingredients
- fresh thyme
- ¼ cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted
- ½ tsp sea salt (optional)
- 2 Tbsp dried sumac, ground (available at Middle Eastern grocery stores)
Instructions
- Hang thyme or lemon thyme in small bunches in a cool, dry place or inside a paper bag, then allow to dry for two to three weeks. When the leaves are completely dry, strip them from each hardy stem. Crush to release the oils, and crumble by hand or in a spice grinder.
- Combine with all the other ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Taste and adjust ingredient proportions to your liking.
Notes
Store in a well-sealed spice jar or plastic bag in a cool, dry place. Keeps for several months.
