Dukkah (pronounced “douka”) is a spice mix from Egypt. It is made from hazelnuts, sesame, coriander, cumin and grilled spice. In Cairo, the Egyptians traditionally serve Dukkah with their pre-dinner drinks by dipping pitta bread into olive oil and then into Dukkah!
Its notes of toasted spices and hazelnuts are delicious with sweet wine, warmed goat’s cheese on toast or fresh pasta. It releases its oriental flavours wondrously with chicken skewers or marinated fish. Sprinkle it over your mixed salads or on steamed vegetables to add a crunchy touch.
This popular Thai mix is quite spicy and is delicious with meat, shrimps, and tofu. Add 1 or 2 teaspoons to some coconut oil, add 20 cl of coconut milk then leave your meat to absorb the delicious flavours for about 10 mins. Serve with rice and fresh coriander.
