Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pistachios
- 1 cup Almonds
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add the pistachios and almonds to the skillet and toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove the nuts from the skillet and let them cool completely.
In the same skillet, add the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds. Toast the seeds for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they start to darken slightly and release their aroma. Be careful not to burn them.
Allow the toasted seeds to cool completely, then transfer them to a spice grinder or food processor along with the black peppercorns and sea salt. Pulse the mixture a few times to break up the seeds slightly, but leave some texture.
Add the cooled pistachios, almonds, and smoked paprika to the grinder or food processor. Pulse the mixture again until all ingredients are roughly chopped and well combined. Be careful not to over-process—Dukkah should have a coarse and crumbly texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or spices if necessary.
Store the Dukkah in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for up to a month.
Serve with olive oil and low-carb bread for dipping, or sprinkle over a salad, grilled meats, or vegetables.
