Homemade Dukkah
Crunchy, aromatic, and endlessly versatile.
This week we're bringing you Egypt's most famous blend of nuts, seeds, and spices — made quickly and easily in the Vibe blender. It's the seasoning mix you didn't know you needed.
Dukkah is a wonderfully versatile blend that can be used as a topping, crust, or condiment, adding crunch, warmth, and flavour to almost any dish.
In the Middle East, dukkah is traditionally served alongside olive oil and bread. Simply dip fresh bread into olive oil, then into dukkah for a simple yet delicious snack. But this fragrant blend deserves far more than a supporting role. A sprinkle of dukkah can instantly elevate yogurt, labneh, eggs, meat, soups, salads, rice dishes, roasted vegetables, and so much more.
The secret to exceptional dukkah is freshness. Dry roasting the nuts, seeds, and spices before blending brings out their natural oils and intensifies their flavour, creating a blend with far more depth and aroma than anything you'll find pre-made and store-bought.
Traditional dukkah often features hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin, but like many beloved spice blends, every family and region has its own variation. That's part of its charm.
The beauty of homemade dukkah is that it doesn't require exact measurements or ingredients. Have a handful of almonds to use up? Prefer pistachios over hazelnuts? Missing fennel seeds? No problem. Dukkah is forgiving, adaptable, and a fantastic way to make use of pantry odds and ends. Experiment with different combinations and discover a blend that's uniquely yours.
Storing Dukkah
Because dukkah contains nuts, it won't keep as long as a typical spice blend. Store homemade dukkah in an airtight glass container at room temperature for up to three weeks. For longer storage and maximum freshness, keep it in the refrigerator or freezer. This helps preserve the flavour and prevents the nuts from becoming stale or rancid.
