Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw hazelnuts
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds
• 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Coriander seeds
• 1.5 tablespoons Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add hazelnuts to the skillet and toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, toast the almonds for 3-5 minutes until they start to brown slightly. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Add the sesame seeds to the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns together in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove and let cool completely.

Step 6

Place the toasted hazelnuts and almonds into a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to overprocess as you want a textured mix, not a nut butter.

Step 7

Add the toasted spices, sesame seeds, salt, and smoked paprika to the food processor. Pulse a few more times until everything is mixed and the spices are finely crushed but the mixture remains textured.

Step 8

Transfer the dukkah to an airtight jar and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Step 9

Use as a topping for roasted vegetables, a seasoning for meats, or as a dip for compliant vegetables with olive oil.
