Serves Makes 1 cup
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup almonds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • 1/3 cup coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
  1. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, dry roast the almonds for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the almonds from the pan, allow them to cool a few minutes, and then finely chop them.
  2. Toast the sesame seeds and coriander separately, in the same pan used to toast the almonds, over moderate heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant. With a spice or coffee grinder, grind the coriander in short bursts until reasonably fine and add to a bowl along with the nuts and sesame seeds.
  3. Using the spice or coffee grinder, or a mortar and pestle, grind the cumin, salt, and sugar together until very fine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your own taste. Add to the sesame-nut mixture. Dukkah will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
