½ cup sumac

2 Tbs thyme

Buy the nut types separately and soak in individual bowls covered with water overnight. Mix a little of the salt into each bowl.

Drain the nuts and rinse well. Combine all varieties.

Grind the sesame seeds in a mortar, mix with the rest of the spices.

Add about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix to the soaked nuts, mixing well.

Keep the rest of the spice mix in an airtight jar.
