Dukkah Spice

Guests of ours recently spoilt us, with making this most wonderful spice.  They very kindly shared the recipe, which is based on the traditional Egyptian Dukkah Recipe (but better!).  This is the most Fabulous spice is so deliciously yummy, I found myself sprinkling it in on almost everything, even just gobbling straight off my hand.
Dukkah spice


Ingredients:
100g  (about 2/3 Cup) Hazelnuts
100g  Sesame Seeds
2 Tbls (30ml) Cumin Seeds
2 Tbls (30ml) Coriander Seeds
1 tsp (5ml) Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp (5ml) Flaky Sea Salt (I used Maldon)
1 Tbls (15ml) Paprika
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) Turmeric
Large pinch of dried ground ginger
Some of the ingredients for the dukkah
Method:
*  Heat a medium sized frying pan over medium heat.  Dry roast the nuts, and seeds in the pan, stirring until a lovely golden colour  (about 2 minutes or so)
* Place the nuts and seeds in a food processor and whizz until coarsely chopped.
* Add remaining ingredients and mix to combine.
* Adjust salt to taste
* Store in an air tight container.
* And voila - that is it.  So easy and so delicious!
Food processing the spice
Tips and Suggestions:
*  You can substitute the Hazelnuts for Pistachio nuts, or almonds
*  Add as a spice to curries, stews over meat for a braai (bbq).
* Lovely sprinkled over a fresh salad
* Add a pinch a chilli powder or cayenne pepper, for a bit of a bite.
* Traditional served with crusty home bread and olive oil.

  3. Good Morning to you, I am really interested in this Dukkah Spice as I have never heard of it before. I have used every ingredient which you have listed at one time or another, and I am excited to put them all together to make Dukkah Spice.
    I have been cooking for almost 43 years, so it is always exciting to find something new to add to my store cupboard.
    Thank you to your kind friends who shared this recipe..... I am certainly going to try it.
    Best Wishes to you,
    Daphne
