Ingredients

• 75 grams hazelnuts
• 75 grams almonds
• 50 grams sesame seeds
• 25 grams coriander seeds
• 25 grams cumin seeds
• 10 grams fennel seeds
• 5 grams black peppercorns
• 10 grams sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Spread the hazelnuts and almonds on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted and aromatic. Stir halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 3

Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, rub the hazelnuts between your fingers or in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.

Step 4

While the nuts are cooling, toast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds separately in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently and toast each until fragrant and slightly golden; this should take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Please be careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Combine the toasted hazelnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, and sea salt in a food processor.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture in short bursts until it forms a coarse, crumbly blend. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should have texture and not be overly fine.

Step 7

Transfer the Dukkah to an airtight container. This mixture can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Step 8

Enjoy your dukkah with crusty bread dipped in olive oil, or use it as a seasoning for meats, vegetables, or salads.
