BEST HOMEMADE ZATAR

This Zatar mix is the most authentic. I’ve done my research so you won’t have to. Give it a try it’s so so good and easy.
Ingredients:
7 oz. Dry Greek oregano
1/4 cup toasted caraway seeds
1/4 cup cumin seeds
1/4 cup coriander seeds
2 tbsp dill seeds
5 tbsp sumac
4-5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp salt
1 pound/ 16 oz. Toasted un hulled sesame seeds
Preparation:
Start by toasting the “toasted sesame seeds” just for 2 minutes to wake up the flavors. Set them aside to cool completely
Toasted all the other spices except the sumac on medium heat for 2 minutes mixing all the time. Set aside to cool completely then process finely in the food processor, set aside. Now you can process the oregano until very fine. When you finish the whole amount, place in a big bowl and start adding the olive oil gradually, I added 4 1/2 tbsp in total. Mix in and rub very well with your hands. Add the whole amount of sesame seeds. Mix very well. Season with salt and add 4-5 tbsp of the spices, add 5 tbsp of the sumac. Mix very well, taste and adjust the flavors to your liking.
