I first heard about this in a magazine flying from Seattle to Fairbanks and was instantly intrigued. The chef did not give measures and just a brief overview of the ingredients. I needed to personalize it to what I have available to me in Alaska. Wow....I love dipping this mix in quality olive oils and artisan breads. Give this a try. This is an EXCELLENT appetizer for your guests!

Toast the nuts and seeds....but not the sesame seeds until the end because they can burn quickly. I let the nuts and seeds cool a bit and then blend them with the spices.

How To Make dukkah (egyptian nut/spice)

Step 1

Toast the nuts and seeds (EXCEPT THE SESAME SEEDS) in a cast iron skillet until you get the aroma...don't burn....let cool.

Step 2

In a food processor, lightly process the seeds, nuts and salt, mint, sugar and red pepper. It should resemble a corse grind.
Step 3

Let cool and store in an airtight container.
Step 4

Mix a tablespoon or two of this with some good quality olive oil and dip with some artisan bread. This is also an excellent topping to grill halibut or add to any dish.
