Dukkah spice blend
Dukkah is a traditional Egyptian condiment which generally consists of a mixture of herbs, nuts (usually hazelnut), and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables for an hors d’œuvre/simple starter. The word ‘dukkah’, or ‘duqqa’ is derived from the Arabic “to pound”, since the mixture of spices and nuts is pounded together after being dry roasted to a texture that is neither powdered nor paste-like. Reference to a 19th-century text lists marjoram, mint, zaatar and chickpeas as further ingredients that can be used in the mixture, and some modern variants include pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds.
