Chef's notes
If you make this recipe with fresh thyme, it will keep for 5 days in the fridge. Made with dried thyme, it will keep at room temperature for a month or more.
There’s no single right way to make za’atar. If you like yours a little tangier or a little saltier, taste and adjust to create a blend you love.
