Notes

  • So, you can see by my measurements I tend to make a huge amount of dukkah in one go because it doesn't take very long and it lasts all year, so by making a big batch im just saving the time it would take to make it four times a year and ... minimising the measuring tools i have to wash up later.
  • This is a dessert dukkah, and to be perfectly honest, you could probably just leave the sugar out of you wanted to use it with fruit etc, or if that is something that you are trying to control.
  • I serve this over vegan vanilla ice-cream, with fruit, or some vegan cream cheese and crackers works well too. I even sprinkle it on the uncooked side of pancakes before flipping... because plain pancakes don't excite me, sorry. My grandmother loves this condiment.
  • Like all dukkah this makes a great gift. It serves as insurance against unexpected guests and is always well received. Just be sure to know whether there are any nut/ seed allergies or aversions to sugar... you can always change some things around and leave out the sugar so people can add their own sweetener if they want/ feel the need to.
  • This one is great for GF friends and family, while every dukkah is or should be GF friendly they are often served with bread and or crackers which are ... not?
