If you’re new to dukkah, be prepared to fall in love! This Egyptian spice blend is a savory condiment made up of spices, herbs and nuts that can be used in a variety of ways. Traditionally this is used as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables. You can also try topping it on avocado toast, on top of hummus, as a seasoning for meat, or fish or on top of a fried egg.

In a small skillet over medium heat, add the hazelnuts and toast until fragrant and the skins start to loosen, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside in a clean tea towel.

In the same skillet, add the sesame seeds and toast until fragrant and slightly toasted in colour, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and add to the bowl with the chopped hazelnuts.
3
Now, add the fennel seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds and toast for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add in the peppercorns during the last 30 seconds. Add to a coffee grinder, food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Then add this to the bowl with the hazelnuts and sesame seeds.
