SC - recipe for za'tar

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Here is the recipe for za'tar.  RAs, I'm sorry I didn't think to ask you if 
you needed more za'tar as I just saw my middle east spice guy this week.  I 
*did* bring home some sumac though and will gladly share with you.   BTW, 
what is the difference between sumac and poison sumac?
(serious question)

Za'atar

2 teaspoons oregano flakes
2 teaspoons basil, chopped up 
2 tablespoons ground thyme
1 teaspoon whole thyme
2 teaspoons savoury
2 teaspoons ground marjoram
1/2 teaspoons whole dry marjoram
1 tablespoon sumac (if available - see Middle Eastern store)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
zest of two lemons, very finely minced

Blend together and use for Zataar flatbread. Makes a scant 1/3 cup.
