Dukkah Recipe
Description
This Dukkah recipe starts with roasting whole hazelnuts to deepen their nuttiness and enhance flavor. Toasting sesame seeds separately brings out their aromatic oils. Coriander and cumin seeds are also toasted, adding warm spice notes, then combined with dried thyme and flaky sea salt. The mixture is coarsely crushed using a mortar and pestle or food processor for a textured blend that retains some crunch.
The result is a nutty and savory mix that pairs well with fresh bread dipped in olive oil, sprinkled over salads or roasted vegetables, or used as a crust for meats. The blend’s balance of toasted nuts, seeds, and fragrant herbs creates depth without overpowering dishes.
Storage recommendations include keeping dukkah in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to one month to preserve freshness. The recipe yields about two cups, roughly eight servings of two tablespoons each. Roasting nuts and seeds separately ensures even flavor development due to differing cooking times.
Ingredients
For basic dukkah:
- 1/2 cup hazelnut roasted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flaked
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds toasted
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds toasted
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
Instructions
- Combine hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and sea salt. Add your choice of other sides, spices and herbs, and mix-ins if desired. Crush in a mortar and pestle or food processor. Store in an airtight container, in a cool dark place, for up to 1 month.
Notes
- Roasting hazelnuts enhances nuttiness; toast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Toast sesame seeds separately to avoid burning; bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Store in an airtight container, away from light and heat, for up to one month.
- This recipe yields approximately two cups or eight 2-tablespoon servings.
