What is Dukkah? Dukkah is a delicious blend of nuts, seeds,
and spices. It is based on a traditional Middle Eastern recipe. What
is great about making dukkah, is that you can add and subtract ingredients
to please yourself and family. You can use any excess Dukkah to coat chicken
or seafood before baking, and also sprinkle on salads or vegetables. Let your
imagination be your guide!
