Authentic Egyptian Dukkah

Step 1

Gently roast the hazelnuts, almonds and sunflower seeds in a pan. About three minutes will do it. Take them out and pop them into a blender.

Step 2

Next, slowly roast the fennel seeds, normal cumin, coriander, and white sesame seeds. These won’t take as long - about two minutes should do it.

Step 3

Put the second batch into the blender as well and just press the pulse button a couple of times. We’re looking for a nice crunchy mix here, not a powder. Finally add the green pepper, sea salt, black sesame seeds, black cumin and paprika powder and give it a last quick blend.

Step 4

Put it all in an airtight glass. Done! Use it to intensify soups, dips and salads or treat yourself to an oily bread and dukkah. You won’t look back.
