Dukkah is such a wonderful spice mix! Originating in the middle east, there are many different varieties, in terms of nuts used and spices used, but the basic ingredients will usually always have coriander, cumin, and pepper. Some then add fennel and other spices.
Perfect over grilled meats (fish, chicken, lamb), eggs, sprinkled over salads or open sandwiches, even over the top of a pumpkin soup! There are many uses!
I love spices and flavoursome accompaniments to a dish and this is one of them! You can play with whatever nut combo you like. This is my version, and I love it!
