Description
Dukkah, an Egyptian spice blend of toasted nuts and seeds, has become a international favorite over the past few years, thanks to its popularity first in Australian restaurants and then among home cooks and food blogs. The warm, aromatic mixture is addictive when served as a dip with bread and olive oil. We’ve also been sprinkling it on everything else lately – roasted vegetables, pasta, feta cheese, and even peaches.
Dukkah (pronounced DOO-kah) may be purchased in some gourmet and ethnic markets, but it’s easy to make at home. Freshly toasted nuts and seeds also taste better, and it can be fun to experiment with different ingredients.
There are countless recipes for dukkah. Just about every mixture includes nuts (most often hazelnuts, but various other kinds may be used alone or in combination), sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. To this, a cook might add dried thyme, mint, peppercorns, or various other sweet, hot, and savory herbs and spices. We have included a basic recipe to get you started and then encourage you to play with ingredients and proportions depending on your personal preference and intended use.
