At a dinner party with friends last night the subject of Dukkah came up.
Dukkah is a unique blend of nuts and seeds which makes finger food to be shared between friends, it is simple to prepare which you serve with fresh bread and olive oil, dipping the bread in the oil then the Dukkah. It is nearly heaven.
This is my version:
100g hazelnuts
50g coriander seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt crystals
Dry roast the hazelnuts until slightly browned and fragrant, being careful that they don’t burn. Repeat the procedure with each of the seeds and the peppercorns. Allow each of them to cool completely.
Place the nuts and seeds, along with the mint and salt, into a mortar and pound until the mixture is crushed. Or pulse in a food processor to a coarse consistency; do not allow the mixture to become a paste.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one month.
This looks easy and quick. It should come handy for me to have for the breakfast every morning. It will save my time and will also be a really healthy morning meal quickly when on the go!
My kids will love this. It is quite healthy meal for them at any given time. It’s also tasty so no more faces made.
Just found this and am going to use it when entertaining this weekend. I have everything in my store cupboard except dried mint. I’ll have to make my own!
