Serves/Makes: 1 cup | Ready In: < 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup macadamia or Brazil nuts
2 tablespoons hazelnuts
2 tablespoons sunflower or pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons unsweetened desiccated coconut
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
crusty bread, lightly toasted
olive oil
Directions:
On large baking sheet, arrange macadamia or Brazil nuts, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds in single layer. Roast in 350 degrees F. oven for 9 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut; roast, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until nuts and coconut are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, roast sesame, coriander and cumin seeds, stirring often, for about 8 minutes or until sesame seeds are golden brown. Let cool. In mini-chopper, food processor or coffee grinder, chop nut mixture until fine, leaving just a few larger pieces. Transfer to bowl. Finely chop seed mixture. Add to bowl along with salt, ground cumin, pepper, cinnamon and cayenne; stir to combine. (Can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 1 month.) Dip bread first in olive oil, then in dukka.
Cook's Notes: dukka; dukkah (DOO-kah) An Egyptian spice blend comprising toasted nuts and seeds, the combination of which varies depending on the cook. Dukka usually has hazelnuts or chickpeas as a base, along with pepper as well as coriander, cumin and sesame seeds. The ingredients are ground together until the texture is that of a coarse powder. A relative of Zahtar, Dukka is used in Egypt as a table condiment and as a dip for bread. Sprinkle over meats and vegetables or dip a chunk of your favorite bread into some good olive oil, then into the Dukka for an Egyptian inspired treat. Veggies taste great dipped in it, too! ---
