Dukkah

A Flavourful Middle Eastern Blend

Dukkah is a fragrant mix of nuts, seeds, and spices that instantly adds warmth and crunch to your meals. Traditionally enjoyed with bread and olive oil, it also works beautifully sprinkled over roasted vegetables, salads, or dips. This recipe is simple to make and keeps well, making it a handy addition to your kitchen. You’re going to love how versatile and flavourful it is.

Blending the Perfect Mix

1. Toast the nuts and seeds separately in a dry pan until golden and fragrant.

2. Allow them to cool completely.

3. Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until crumbly.

4. Keep the texture coarse or fine, depending on your preference, but avoid over-processing.

5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Why This Blend is Special

Nuts such as almonds and cashews provide healthy fats and plant-based protein, making dukkah both nourishing and satisfying. Sesame seeds add a delicate nuttiness and are a natural source of minerals. Together with warming spices like cumin and coriander, this blend creates a rich flavour that can elevate even the simplest dishes.

Sprinkle, Share, and Savour
