Notes
- Hazelnuts: Roasting amplifies the nuttiness, making the nuts (and, as a result, the dukkah) more flavorful. To roast hazelnuts, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and arrange hazelnuts in one single layer. Toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Seeds: Toasting makes seeds more aromatic as well. Large hazelnuts are going to take much longer to become nutty and fragrant than smaller seeds, so do this on a separate sheet pan. To toast the sesame seeds, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange sesame seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet or in an oven-proof skillet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Yield: This dukkah recipe makes 2 cups total, or eight 2-tablespoon servings.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container, in a cool dark place, for up to 1 month.
