Homemade Dukkah Spice

Homemade Dukkah is a dry spice and nut blend made from toasted hazelnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, and a variety of seeds and spices. The ingredients are toasted separately then coarsely ground and mixed to form a crunchy, aromatic condiment. It’s traditionally eaten with olive oil and flatbread and offers a textured, flavorful seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 150 grams hazelnut skinless
  • 150 grams white sesame seeds
  • 150 grams almond flakes
  • 70 grams coriander seeds
  • 50 grams fennel seeds
  • 10 grams thyme dried

  • olive oil virgin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a heavy skillet or a medium heated oven, toast individually the hazelnuts, almonds, sesame seeds and all spice seeds lightly and let them cool well.
  2. In a spice grinder or coffee grinder, grind all toasted ingredients except the sesame seeds very roughly. If ground too fine the nuts will lump together due to the release of the oil within the nut.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and incorporate all ingredients very well.
  4. Spread on a sheet pan and dry in the oven at low temperature. This will ensure the Dukka is really dry and prevent from molding or going rancid.
  5. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 2 weeks.
