How to Make Dukka Egyptian Spice Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup of whole almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Transfer the toasted almonds to a large bowl.
  3. In a medium skillet, toast 1/4 cup coriander seeds, 2 tablespoons cumin seeds, and 1 tablespoon sea salt over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, or until the coriander is lightly browned and the mixture is fragrant. Swirl the pan constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add the toasted coriander, cumin, and salt mixture to the bowl with the almonds.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, coarsely grind the almond-spice mixture and 2 tablespoons of sumac in a food processor until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle for a more rustic texture.
  7. Transfer the coarsely ground mixture to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds.
  8. Store your Dukka in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months. Enjoy!
  9. Serve with olive oil and crusty bread for dipping.
