DUKKAH – EGYPTIAN SPICE MIX
Sprinkle onto garden salads, dips or to accentuate favourite meals. It works beautifully with Moroccan baked organic eggs, cinnamon roasted sweet potato or veggie burgers topped with beetroot relish and a crunchy salad. Home made Dukkah is a celebration of aromatics that is just glorious. You’ll never buy dukkah again once you’ve made your own.

INGREDIENTS
150 g macadamia nuts – lightly roasted
100 g almonds, roasted
50 g sesame seeds – lightly toasted
10 g chia seed

1 teaspoon cumin – ground
1 teaspoon black pepper – ground
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
METHOD

- Mix the dukkah ingredients well and taste – adjust if necessary to your palate.
- Store in a glass jar in the fridge.
- Serve and enjoy – keeps well in an air tight glass jar in the fridge – ready to serve.
NOTES:
Sprinkle over favourite dips such as Baba Ghanoush or Matmahara dip before serving.
Sprinkle over roasted carrot salad or Persian feta.
Sprinkle over your next kale salad and scatter with pomegranate.
Sprinkle over organic scrambled eggs.
Feel free to add other spice, nuts & seeds to your own tastes – Chilli flakes, ground coriander, ground cardamom, lemon zest, smoked paprika and fennel seeds all work really well.
