  • Total Time: 10 min
  • Category: Seasoning
  • Method: Toasted
  • Cuisine: Mediterranean
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios or hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 3 Tablespoons cashews
  • 1/4 cup white sesame seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon minced dried garlic – optional, but a nice addition
  • 1 Tablespoon Tajin (mild chile lime seasoning) – optional, but a nice addition
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (use more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika – optional, but a nice addition
  • Flaked sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the nuts, then toast the sesame seeds.
  2. Put everything in a mini food processor and pulse several times until the nuts are cut into very small chunks. 

Notes

Be sure not to over-process. Dukkah should not be a fine powder. It should contain recognizable small chunks of nuts.

Store in the fridge or freezer for longer shelf life.

You can toast the nuts and sesame seeds in a dry cast iron (or other nonstick) skillet on the stovetop over medium heat or in a toaster oven on the TOAST setting. Personally, I prefer to toast the nuts in the toaster oven.
