Dukkah image

Dukkah (pronounced 'do -kah') is an Egyptian blend of coarsely ground nuts and spices. Use it in Recipe#304556 or by dipping bread in extra virgin olive oil then into the dukkah. Or use dukkah as a crust or breading for foods like lamb, shrimp, fish or chicken. Sprinkle over salads, pasta dishes, or scrambled eggs. Think it might be good on roasted carrot soup. This recipe came from The Culinary Chase Blog. The timing does not include the cool downs after each roasting nor the shelling of the nuts.
