Dukkah spice mix

Recipe

You do not need to buy Dukkah. It is so simple to make.

Dukkah is a mix of spices, nuts and seeds – roasted. You can swap out any of the ingredients to make up your own favourite blend -– just spend a little time roasting each carefully to bring out their unique and fragrant flavours. Then whizz it up together.

Dukkah can be used in so many dishes. Serve with some bread and extra virgin olive oil as an authentic nibble. Roll and coat labne balls (yoghurt cheese) in dukkah for a simple and stunning starter to a meal. Sprinkle on roast vegetables while they are warm - serve with hummus or yoghurt.

Makes almost 1 cup Vg. V. GF.DF.
