Dukkah
Make up a jar of this delicious Middle Eastern spice mix and use it to give your salads some crunch, or as a dip with olive oil and crunchy bread. You can also use it as a crunchy coating for chicken or kebabs and it’s great with fish.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup hazelnuts
1/2 cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp salt
Method:
Roast the hazelnuts in a 180C oven for 3-5 mins. Rub with a teatowel to remove skin
Chop in a food processor and transfer to a mixing bowl
Roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan for a few minutes (watch them – they can burn quickly)
Add to the chopped hazelnuts
Add the cumin and coriander seeds to the hot pan and roast until fragrant and starting to pop.
Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind (you can use a spice or coffee grinder). I like mine fairly course so feel free to experiment
Add to the bowl of nuts and seeds
Add salt and pepper and store in an air tight jar.
A little goes a long way – enjoy!
