Egyptian Dukkah - Variation
Dukkah is a traditional Egyptian blend of spices and nuts, typically featuring sesame and hazelnuts. Our modern take incorporates fennel and hemp seeds for a unique flavor profile. Optionally, consider including rosemary or oregano."Delicious brilliant ideaWhat can say? What a creative idea for 1, and a delicious meal each time for 2. I recieved 2 Meal spice kits (these include the spices for the entire meal & a recipe card with what to get or add to your shopping list).1st meal: Dukkah Lamb - This was fantastic. Definitely follow cooking instructions from Spice breeze cards -- I finished slightly faster in oven for a more rare chop- to die for! (...)" Serena Ricker (Trustpilot Review)
