EGYPTIAN DUKKAH RECIPE

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!

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Firstly toast the nuts in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
• Toast the spice seeds and sesame seeds separately in the same way.
• Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients in a food processor.
• Grind the mixture until it resembles small breadcrumbs.
• The mixture should be very dry and crumbly, not a paste.
• Be careful as over processing can release the oil from the nuts making the mixture moist, which you don't want.
