Za'atar Extended Version

"This is the Za'atar Spice Mix I get in our local oriental store. It contains more spices than usual za'atar and reminds me a bit of dukka. Like a mix of za'atar and dukka, and I like it very much."

  1. Oh man. This is stupendous! Loved, loved everything about this. And I never knew you could make this just like that. Just happened to have some sumac, and all the other ingredients ~ and man, I could of just keep eating this spice - YUM! I loved the extended version, and this was right on! I did leave some fennel seeds whole, and ground some too. It's so pretty!! :) Loved it! Made for ZWT6 Zee Zesties!
