Dukka, a.k.a Dukkah, is an Egyptian spice blend comprising of toasted nuts, seeds and spices. It can be sprinkled over cooked meat, poultry or vegetables, as a seasoning mixture, but mostly is used as a dip for bread. Read more Dukka/Dukkah seems to be one of these recipes where every chef has his own take on what is best. There are very lightly toasted to heavily roasted varieties and there are some that include walnuts, chickpeas and even pistachios. See less
Ingredients
- (5 oz) almond flakes shopping list
- (5 oz) hazelnuts skinless shopping list
- (5 oz) sesame seeds shopping list
- (2.5 oz) coriander seeds shopping list
- (1 2/3 oz) fennel seeds shopping list
- (1 1/3 oz) cumin seeds shopping list
- (1/3 oz) thyme, dry shopping list
- (1/6 oz) paprika, sweet Spanish shopping list
- (1/6 oz) black pepper corns, crushed shopping list
- (1/3 oz) sea salt (flaky) shopping list
- virgin olive oil shopping list
- Egyptian flat bread (or any other fresh crusty bread you may like) shopping list
How to make it
- In a heavy skillet or a medium heated oven, toast individually the hazelnuts, almonds, sesame seeds and all spice seeds lightly and let them cool well.
- In a spice grinder or coffee grinder, grind all toasted ingredients except the sesame seeds very roughly. If grinded too fine the nuts will lump together due to the release of the oil within the nut.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and incorporate all ingredients very well.
- Spread on a sheet pan and dry in the oven at low temperature. This will ensure the Dukka is really dry and prevent from moulding or going rancid.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.
