Author Notes
Dukkah is an Egyptian spice and nut blend. My variation strays a bit from tradition with the inclusion of toasted coconut. I like to sprinkle it on salads or eggs and to serve it with bread and olive oil. It also makes a great crunchy coating for chicken or fish. Really, the possibilities are endless. It makes about everything taste a bit better and it makes a great gift. —eva @myfrontburner

I made several different dukkah before and this is my favourite. I followed the recipe precisely except that I used 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds. This goes with pretty much anything!

I just made this for the Food52 Holiday Swap! It is DELISH. I didn't have enough sesame seeds on hand, so I also toasted and ground up some fennel seeds with the coriander. Highly recommend to double the recipe so you don't end up eating at the Dukkah before you have a chance to sprinkle it on anything.

Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe. I made this for the first time a few months ago and LOVED it! I now make it once a month. I sprinkle it (ok pour) on toasted sourdough bread with cream cheese....yum!

Shoveling by the spoonful is exactly what I did with this. I saved a little to sprinkle on my coconut rice and lentils, but let's face it - next time, I'll be making a double batch. Such a winner.

I sprinkled it on uncooked flatbreads that I had brushed with oil. The first time I attempted it the topping burnt. So I lowered the oven temperature slightly and it was perfect. We inhaled these!

How long does this keep? Can you freeze it?
eva @. December 1, 2014
Brooks, if you store it in an air tight container it will keep for months. Freezing it will definitely preserve it longer, but if your like me, you might forget its in there!

Nicely done. Very interesting.
EmilyC November 20, 2014

LOVE this! So yummy mixed with panko on salmon. My kids both said, separately, "delicious!".
Bevi October 31, 2014
Sounds delicious, and love the idea of using as a crusted coating for fish and chicken.
