3 tablespoons dried oregano

3 tablespoons dried marjoram

2 tablespoons dried hyssop

3 tablespoons dried savory

2 tablespoons sumac powder

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a small skillet, roast the sesame seeds over low to medium heat, while stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, until their fragrance comes out. Set aside and let cool down completely.

Add the thyme, oregano, marjoram, hyssop, savory, sumac and half of the sesame seeds into a mortar and rub them vigorously for 3 minutes between your hands.

Using a pestle, crush the mix and reduce it into a coarse powder.

Add the remaining sesame seeds and keep the mixture in a glass jar away from light and heat.
