Za'atar

1/4 cup dried wild thyme
1/3 cup dried wild oregano
1/3 cup dried marjoram
2 tablespoons sumac
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1 tablespoon sea salt flakes

Use a spice or coffee grinder to grind the thyme, oregano, and marjoram together just until they break down (you can also use a mortar and pestle, although it won't work quite as well).  Pour the mixture into a bowl, stir in the sumac, sesame seeds, and salt, then pour into an airtight container.  It will last for a year if stored in a dark, cool, dry place.

Makes 1 jar.
