Ingredients
- 1 Teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 Teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ Teaspoon savory herb dried
- 1 Teaspoon marjoram see Note, or oregano, dried
- 1 ½ Teaspoon sumac
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the Sesame seeds into a small pan and dry toast the sesame seeds until you can smell them toasting or see them popping up. Keep aside to cool.
- In a mortar and pestle add the thyme, savory, marjoram, and sumac. Pound all the ingredients until well mixed and you can smell the spice blend forming.
- In a small bowl or container combine the previously pound ingredient mixture with the sesame seeds and salt.
- Store in an airtight container until further use.
Notes
- You can substitute de Marjoram with Oregano. I just prefer Marjoram in this recipe but this is up to you.2. If your herbs are not crispy enough, place them into the small pan and just dry toast them until crispy. Don't burn the herbs.
