I'd LOVE to be able to make my own Dukkah - I'm turning into a bit of a snob I think, I wanna serve up Dukkah and fancy schmancy olive oil with turkish bread when we have people over :)
I'm busy googling at the moment, but thought I'd ask you all - do you have a recipe?
....c'mon Rouge, we know you do ;)
I haven't done it yet because of the fact that my food processor sucks bigtime. BUT I know of awesome recipes. Have you ever watched SBS' food Safari, they had a great Dukkah recipe on there, I know that you can pretty much throw anything into the mix, I personally prefer my Dukkah with sesame seeds or nigella seeds but if I'm going to add them I wouldn't grind them with the spices I would add them at the end so they are whole.
Here is a Egyptian recipe from Food Safari:
Keep in mind you can play with any flavours, and I've even seen some Dukkah with salt in it too if you prefer.:
Ingredients
¾ cup sesame seeds
½ cup pine nuts
½ cup coriander seeds
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp baharat (white and black pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg)
Preparation
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.
Do you reckon I could use a mortar and pestle instead of a food processor? Would probably just take longer I'm thinking...
Here's a recipe I just found, for anyone who wants one...
:
Preparation Time
10 minutes
Cooking Time
5 minutes
Makes
190g (1 1/2 cups)
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 110g (2/3 cup) hazelnuts
- 80g (1/2 cup) sesame seeds
- 2 tbs coriander seeds
- 2 tbs cumin seeds
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp flaked sea salt (like Maldon brand)
- Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
- Crusty bread, to serve
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Spread the hazelnuts over a baking tray and cook in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes or until toasted. Rub the hazelnuts between a clean tea towel to remove as much skin as possible.
- Place the toasted hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Add to the bowl with the hazelnuts.
- Place coriander seeds and cumin seeds in frying pan over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic and seeds begin to pop. Transfer seeds to a mortar and pestle. Pound until finely crushed (alternatively, use a coffee or spice grinder). Add the crushed spices, pepper and salt to the hazelnut mixture and mix well.
Yep you could most definitely. That sounds YUMMY!
