Description:
Indulge in the exquisite flavors of this homemade Dukkah recipe! Originating from Egypt, this aromatic blend of nuts, seeds, and spices is perfect for dipping bread into olive oil or sprinkling over salads and roasted vegetables. With its delightful crunch and rich, earthy taste, Dukkah adds a unique twist to any dish.
Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients – sesame seeds, cumin seeds, dried thyme, pistachios, hazelnuts, and almonds.
-
Toast Nuts and Seeds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, cumin seeds, dried thyme, pistachios, hazelnuts, and almonds until fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. This should take about 5 minutes. Once toasted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Grind Ingredients: Transfer the toasted nuts and seeds to a mortar and pestle or a food processor. Grind them together until you achieve a coarse texture. Be careful not to over-process; you want a slightly chunky consistency for your Dukkah.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once ground to your desired consistency, transfer the Dukkah to a serving bowl. To enjoy, simply dip fresh bread into a quality olive oil and then into the Dukkah mixture. Alternatively, sprinkle Dukkah over salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Storage: Store any leftover Dukkah in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks to maintain its freshness and flavor.
Tips:
- For a twist on traditional Dukkah, try adding other nuts and seeds such as pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds.
- Experiment with the spice blend by incorporating coriander seeds, fennel seeds, or dried mint for a personalized flavor profile.
- Make a larger batch of Dukkah and package it in decorative jars to give as gifts to friends and family.
