Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pistachios
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons fennel seeds
  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Place the nuts and seeds on the baking sheet (not the salt and cayenne). Toast in the oven for about 5-8 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove and cool.
  • Put all of the ingredients in a food processor or grinder. Pulse for 10-15 second, until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Pour into an airtight container and store for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 3/4 of a cup.
  • Be sure to watch the nuts & spices closely while toasting and stir frequently to prevent burning. Toasting the ingredients enhances their flavors and adds depth to the dukkah.
  • The nuts need to be chopped to a course texture, not a fine powder. This will give the dukkah a satisfying crunch and varied texture.
  • Be sure to store the dukkah in an air tight container so it doesn't get stale quickly. It's best when used within a month.
