Dukkah

Dukkah, Dokka or Dükkah (Dok-ka) is an Egyptian dry mixture of chopped nuts, seeds and Middle Eastern spices and flavors.

Traditionally Dukkah is eaten by dipping fresh Egyptian baladi bread first into olive oil and then into the nut mixture. Dukkah is versatile seasoning and can also be sprinkled on salads or vegetables. It can also be used as a crust or breading for foods like lamb, shrimp, fish or chicken.

Ingredients

Hazelnuts or chickpeas are used as a base with sesame seeds, pepper, coriander, cumin and salt.
