Dukkah
I use my Thermomix to chop the nuts.
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.
