Tips & Warnings

• Sprinkle this mix over salads, savory toasts, pan-seared fish, grilled meat etc.
• Dukkah is also fantastic when used in conjunction with olive oil tasting. Set out different olive oils in shallow, white dishes, cut up quality bread (French or Italian bread is ideal) into bite-sized pieces and place a decent amount of dukkah into a dish ready for dipping. Guests should dip the piece of bread into the olive oil of their choice, then dip the oiled bread into the dukkah and eat. It is refreshing and delicious.
• Always let guests know that dukkah contains nuts.
