Ingredients
  • (5 oz) almond flakes
  • (5 oz) hazelnuts skinless
  • (5 oz) sesame seeds
  • (2.5 oz) coriander seeds
  • (1 2/3 oz) fennel seeds
  • (1 1/3 oz) cumin seeds
  • (1/3 oz) thyme, dry
  • (1/6 oz) paprika, sweet Spanish
  • (1/6 oz) black pepper corns, crushed
  • (1/3 oz) sea salt (flaky)
  • Virgin olive oil
  • Egyptian flat bread (or any other fresh crusty bread you may like)

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and incorporate all ingredients very well.
  4. 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.
  5. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.

I LUV HAVING DIFFENT SPICES MIXES TO HAVE ON HAND. GREAT POST.THANKS


My hubby took my grinder on this last deployment...6 months on a Carrier - I told the squadron to keep it. So, I'm off to buy a new one. Thanks for the excuse!


:) I just can't believe it.Even not all great Egyptian chefs can make Dukka..I wonder from where did you manage to get this..I am impressed.


Impressive indeed.


Sounds great! I've given people their own little bowls at small dinner parties so they can make their own dipping bowls to allow them to "double dip" Great Posting Mystic! Gave it my A+ - I've always had to "buy this" which is hard to find - now I won't have to! Many thanks!


Never heard of this but sure sounds like I've been missing out on somethin fantastic.....:)


Awesome post, what do you think about using a mortar and pestle if you don't have a grinder?


Very nice blend..


Excellent! I love Dukka too; usually make it with mortar & pestle and I add a touch of cayenne -- never tired it with hazelnuts, but I will the next time! Great post, Mystic :)
