Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F). Spread the hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios on a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes.
Add the sesame seeds and fennel seeds to the tray, shake to distribute, and continue roasting for an additional 3 minutes until the nuts and seeds are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Transfer the cooled nuts and seeds to a food processor. Add the cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt, then pulse until the mixture is coarsely ground, leaving small nut chunks for texture.
Store the dukkah in an airtight container. It keeps in a cool pantry for up to 2 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or frozen for up to 6 months.
Tips while you cook
- Staggered roasting
- Roast the nuts for 5 minutes, then add the seeds and roast an additional 3 minutes.
- Cool before processing
- Allow the roasted nuts and seeds to cool completely before transferring to the food processor.
- Pulse for texture
- Pulse only until the mixture is coarsely ground, leaving small nut chunks for texture.
