　　This Middle Eastern spice mixture is so delicious we suggest doubling the recipe and using the extra for a snack: Dunk some bread (such as pita) in flavorful olive oil and then in the za'atar. Or sprinkle za'atar over plain yogurt and drizzle with olive oil, and you've got a terrific dip.

Ingredients

　　2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme

　　2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

　　2 teaspoons ground sumac*

　　1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Step 1
