Dukkah - Egyptian Spice Mix
What's great about it
Dukkah is an Egyptian spice blend made from roasted nuts, seeds and spice. I love making my own Healthy Chef combinations so that I can sprinkle onto garden salads, dips and just simply have on hand to accentuate favourite meals. It works beautifully with Moroccan baked organic eggs, cinnamon roasted sweet potato or veggie burgers topped with beetroot relish and a crunchy salad. Home made Dukkah is a celebration of aromatics that is just glorious, a spoonful is all you need to give joy and delight to your taste buds every time you eat it. You'll never buy dukkah again once you've made your own.

Notes and Inspiration
Sprinkle over your favourite dips such as Baba Ghanoush or Matmahara dip before serving.
Sprinkle over roasted carrot salad or Persian feta.
Sprinkle over your next kale salad and scatter with pomegranate.
Sprinkle over organic scrambled eggs.
Feel free to add other spice, nuts and seeds if you wish based on your own tastes.
Chilli flakes, ground coriander, ground cardamom, lemon zest, smoked paprika and fennel seeds all work really well.
Dukkah keeps well in an air tight glass jar in the fridge - ready to serve and enjoy.
