Park Slope Recipe by Tiny NY Kitchen: Victoria's Za’atar

Make this great Middle Eastern spice mixture of herbs, sesame seeds, sumac and salt for a great topping on warm flatbread.

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice mixture of herbs, sesame seeds, sumac and salt. It is a spice blend that dates back to the 13th century. 

Za’atar is used many ways, but most frequently used as a table condiment. Dip warm flatbread into some olive oil and then dip into the Za’atar. Trust me, it’s delicious.

Za’atar also makes a great dry rub for both meats and vegetables. Sumac is a bit difficult to find. Go to a specialty spice store like, Kalustyans, or order online from Amazon.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 Cup Sumac
  • 2 Tablespoons Thyme
  • 2 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons Marjoram
  • 2 Tablespoons Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt

 

DIRECTIONS:

In a dry sauté pan, toast the sesame seeds on a high heat for two minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. In a small size bowl combine the sumac, thyme, toasted sesame seeds, marjoram, oregano and kosher salt. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Makes approximately 1/2 cup.

Being that it is an election year, if you and other registered voters scream loudly enough, someoneRead More will hear you. This sounds like a job for the 7 On Your Side, or NY1 who may be able to reach NYCDOT and Higher Ranking officials at the 78th PCT to respond to your complaint and do something.
