Have you tried dukkah yet? You may just fall in love. Often found on menus at restaurants, or in a ready-made spice mix from stores…Dukkah is a game-changer in the kitchen. So if you have not tried it, or you love it, it’s time to make your own dukkah. Dukkah is made with basic ingredients, including nuts, sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. Dukkah livens up the most basic appetizer (or meal) around, like bread & olive oil, or simple eggs on toast and so much more! In this recipe, we have a homemade dukkah recipe which was used to crust a tender beef fillet, paired with a smooth butternut mash and fresh broccoli, mint, and almond salad.
You can make the dukkah in bulk and store it in an airtight glass jar to use in the future. There are as many recipes for dukkah as there are Egyptian cooks. The idea behind it is to use up what nuts and seeds you have on hand, so get creative!
One of the best things about making dukkah at home is that you can experiment with different combinations. A dukkah recipe can be customized to suit your taste buds. Dukkah recipes can differ, this is our homemade version. All the ingredients can be bought at a Food Lover’s Market store, but if you are home and looking for some substitutes to suit what you have or your taste, or allergies, see below alternatives:
