Dukkah (Egyptian Nut/Spice) image

I first heard about this in a magazine flying from Seattle to Fairbanks and was instantly intrigued. The chef did not give measures and just a brief overview of the ingredients. I needed to personalize it to what I have available to me in Alaska. Wow....I love dipping this mix in quality olive oils and artisan breads. Give this a try. This is an EXCELLENT appetizer for your guests!

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup(s) raw hazelnuts, toasted
1/4 cup(s) sunflower seeds, raw and toasted
3 tablespoon(s) pistachio nuts, toasted
2 tablespoon(s) cashew nuts, raw and toasted
3 tablespoon(s) coriander seeds, toasted
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) cumin seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon(s) fennel seeds, toasted
1/4 cup(s) roasted sesame seeds
IN A SEPARATE BOWL:
1 teaspoon(s) course salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) dried mint
1/8 teaspoon(s) red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Toast the nuts and seeds (EXCEPT THE SESAME SEEDS) in a cast iron skillet until you get the aroma...don't burn....let cool.
  • In a food processor, lightly process the seeds, nuts and salt, mint, sugar and red pepper. It should resemble a corse grind.
  • Let cool and store in an airtight container.
  • Mix a tablespoon or two of this with some good quality olive oil and dip with some artisan bread. This is also an excellent topping to grill halibut or add to any dish.
