I am sure there has been more than once that I have lamented on this blog about wanting to make Dukkah and missing out on it. So finally this has been accomplished. Dukkah is an exotic spice blend which has a delightful combination of nuts and spices. It is an awesome dip for breads along with olive oil.
Why I like this dish?
The combination of the nutty flavour from hazelnuts and almonds along with the spices of coriander seeds, sesame seeds and fennel seeds is beautiful. It can be used as a spice rub as well as a dip when combined with olive oil. Once stored in an airtight jar, it stays good for weeks and so makes a perfect backup option for the sudden meal.
