Morris Mansour shares this dukkah recipe with Food Safari's Maeve O'Meara.

Dukkah is an Egyptian dry mix of roasted nuts, seeds and spices blended finely together. Traditionally dukkah is eaten by dipping fresh Egyptian bread first into olive oil and then into the nut mixture but it also serves as a versatile seasoning in Egyptian cooking.

For tasty variations on dukkah, try Suzanne Gibbs' dukkah recipe, or Karen Martini's dukkah recipe. Also, browse our Egyptian recipes for more gourmet inspiration.

Ingredients

¾ cup sesame seeds
½ cup pine nuts
½ cup coriander seeds

½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp baharat (white and black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg)

In a large frying pan combine pine nuts and coriander seeds over medium-high heat. When the mix has started to colour, add the sesame seeds and continue to toast until golden brown.

Pour the mixture into a food processor. Add cumin, baharat mix, chilli powder and salt. Blend together.

Use as seasoning in cooking or serve as an accompaniment with bread and olive oil.

Mine's not right
Hmmm I've made dukkah before with different recipes but, following this one my dukkah turned into a paste. What happened?!?

Made it!
Just made the Dukkah... husband loved it and will be great for tomorrow's BBQ, a great basic recipe. If you can't get "Egyptian Bread", Turkish Bread or Pide is also good, or some fresh Lebanese bread, all of these countries have some kind of Dukkah. I also used Pistachio's in place of the pine nuts, Macadamia's also work well.

I want to make this for a party. It sounds super and other people have made very favourable comments. Help! What's "Egyptian Bread"? Substitues if needed? Thanks.

Great great great!
I made this because it is a large amount that I can store and use for roasts as needed (aired out first before storing). Only thing I would change next time is less chilli powder, it seems quite strong (might be the brand). Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

Egyptian Dukkah
This is the best dukkah I have ever had! I make it constantly and everyone wants the recipe! They buy other dukkahs at markets but say this is ythe best one. Comapared to buying it, it is so cheap tom make and this recipe makes enought to last awhile (and give away!) Love the Egyptian flavours - we travelled thru Egypt last year - fantastic food if you eat where the locals go.

If you find that your goulash is too fatty either let it rest on the stove for a few minutes and then skim off the fat. If you have a little extra time place the goulash in the fridge and allow the fat to solidify on top of the dish. Remove fat before reheating.
