Method

  • step 1

    Lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan, just until they start to release their aroma. Grind them to a fine powder using a pestle and mortar then stir in all the other ingredients plus 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. It is now ready to use in your recipes, but will keep in a clean jar or airtight container for a month.

question

Can you use ground cumin in this? And if so how much would you suggest? I don’t have cumin seeds in the house and want to use what I already have. Many thanks

question

Why can't you just use pre-ground cumin?

Hello, thank you for your question. Pre-ground spices tend to loose their flavour more rapidly than whole spices. Toasting the whole cumin seeds before grinding releases aromas in the seeds and intensifies the flavour of the za'atar mix. Hope that helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team

question

Slightly confusing: this recipe lists 'cumin' and 'sesame seeds' but then says to toast the 'cumin seeds'. Presumably this is supposed to be sesame seeds?

Hey, Esther from the food team here! The recipe should say 'cumin seeds' you then grind them to a powder. So sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks for your question.

I don't want to rate this as it is a good recipe BUT feel that not listing salt and black pepper, as they are such big proportions in this dish, is not ideal

Do you consider 1 or 2 teaspoons to be “such large quantities”? Perhaps you had 1 or 2 large quantities of wine before reading the recipe ! 😂
