Dukkah

I use my Thermomix to chop the nuts.
Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Rub or Coating
Cuisine: Egyptian
Author: Valerie Lugonja and others

Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups hazelnuts; toasted , peeled and chopped (or pistachios, pecans, almonds; a combination of two is often used)
  • 1-2 cups sesame seeds , toasted until brown
  • ½ cup coriander seeds , toasted
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds , toasted
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns , toasted
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds , toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Maldon sea salt

Optional Additions:

  • 4 Allspice Berries , toasted
  • 2 tablespoons dried cilantro or mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds , toasted

Instructions

  • The smaller seeds will toast very quickly, so watch carefully to avoid burning
  • After all ingredients are prepared, toasted, etc., mix together and taste
  • Adjust salt to taste

Notes

I used the first amount in the ingredient list, but found the cumin too strong, though others liked it.
Adjust the ingredients to your liking; this is a deliciously exotic meat or cheese coating.
