DUKKAH SPICE | NUT & SEED BLEND | HOW TO USE IT

Dukkah is a spice blend and condiment from Egypt that lies outside of your ordinary spice cabinet collection, but that’s a good reason to try it! Surprisingly versatile, dukkah is a blend of toasted nuts, seeds, and spices with a nutty, earthy flavour. It's growing in popularity with chefs and restaurants around the Western world at the moment, so we thought we'd tell you a little bit about how to use it and where to buy it!

Filled with components like toasted sesame seeds, hazelnuts, and almonds, you’ll get a crunch and texture perfect for snacking and serving up on impressive, crusted dishes. Those nuts and seeds, alongside spices like cumin and coriander (with a dash of sea salt), create a rich, smoky blend you’ll want to sprinkle on everything.

Of course, there are many variations of dukkah, depending on where you travel and who you ask. A lot of it depends on the preferences of the chef. Some dukkah blends may also include pistachios, cashews, fennel seeds, mint, red pepper flakes, or even sugar.
