Quick hazelnut dukkah

Toast, crush, scatter. Goes on bread, eggs, salads, soups, roasted vegetables, and the corner of a plate.

The Egyptian table seasoning, hazelnut version. Whole spices and nuts, dry roasted, crushed by hand or pulsed once in a processor.

Ingredients

  • 100 g dark-roast hazelnuts
  • 2 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp flaky salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method

  1. Toast the spices in a dry pan, low heat, until they smell loud. Two minutes.
  2. Add the sesame, toast another minute.
  3. Tip everything into a mortar with the hazelnuts. Crush rough — you want gravel, not powder.
  4. Salt and pepper at the end. Store in a jar with a lid.

Notes

Do not use a spice grinder unless you want hazelnut butter. Mortar or one short pulse of a processor.
