EGYPTIAN DUKKAH RECIPE

Egyptian Dukkah Recipe image

Quick, homemade Egyptian dukkah recipe with nuts, seeds, and a few warm spices. I like to use a combination of three nuts here (hazelnut, almonds and walnuts), but you can use just one if you like. Use dukkah as a snack; to coat meat, chicken or fish; or as a nutty finishing touch over soup, salad or even roasted vegetables. Store in tight-lid mason jar for up to 2 weeks.

Ingredients

1/2 cup hazelnuts
3 tbsp almonds
4 tbsp white sesame seeds
3 tbsp shelled pistachios
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
kosher salt

Steps:

Place the hazelnuts and almonds in a dry cast iron pan (do NOT add oil). Toast briefly over medium-high heat, tossing regularly, until the nuts gain some color (watch for nuts to turn a nice golden brown). Transfer to a side dish for now.
Place the sesame seeds in the same skillet and return to the heat. Toast over medium heat, tossing regularly, until the sesame seeds turn golden brown (this will be fairly quick so watch carefully).
Add the toasted nuts and sesame seeds to the bowl of a small food processor fitted with a blade. Add the pistachios, fennel seeds, spices, and a generous dash of kosher salt. Pulse for a few seconds until you reach a nice coarse mixture (Do not over process the dukkah. The mixture should not be too fine. See photos and video for exact texture).
Transfer the dukkah to a bowl to serve. Add a small bowl of extra virgin olive oil and your favorite bread for dipping (I like pita bread or even Jerusalem bagel). You can also store the dukkah in a tight-lid jar for up to 2 weeks to use as a topping for salad, soup, chicken, meats, or roasted vegetables!

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts
1/3 cup almonds or hazelnuts
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
About 20 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the walnuts and almonds. Cook, stirring often, until the nuts are starting to smell fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the sesame seeds to the pan and continue cooking, stirring often, until the sesame seeds are turning lightly golden on the edges. Remove the pan from the heat, and transfer the nut and seed mixture to a food processor.
Add the coriander, cumin, allspice, salt and pepper. Run the food processor for about 10 seconds, or until the nuts are broken into a coarse, sand-like texture (don't overdo it!).
Transfer the dukkah to a bowl for serving, or store it in an air-tight container for 1 to 2 weeks.
