Ingredients

 

2 tbsp cumin

2 tbsp sesame seeds

2 tbsp dried oregano

2 tbsp sumac

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.
