Homemade Dukkah

Dukkah is a wonderful combination of toasted nuts, seeds, spices, and salt. Dukkah is commonly served with bread and olive oil. It works its magic touch sprinkled over almost everything. Sprinkle over steamed rice, labne, dips and salads to add a Middle Eastern flavour. I like to use a combination of at least three different nuts but if you only have one variety, you will still get an excellent result. Hazelnut is a must though, in my opinion, for great dukkah.
