Dukkah recipe

Here's an easy recipe for Dukkah - a lovely mix of spices and nuts that you eat with fresh bread. Surprisingly, this dukkah recipe can be made with pretty ordinary ingredients - nothing expensive required, yet dukkah is very expensive to buy ready made from the deli.


This is my take on dukkah - there are plenty of ways to customize.

• 3 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
• 1 Tbsp fennel seeds
• 2 tsp rock salt (or regular table salt if that's what you have)
• A dried chili or some chili flakes (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a blender on high speed for about 30 seconds. Done.

To serve

Serve with fresh bread and olive oil / balsamic vinegar. Dip the bread in the oil / vinegar, then in the dukkah to add a tasty crunch to the bread.

This recipe makes a good amount of Dukkah, which you will need. It's quite addictive.
