How to Make Duqqa
- Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup peanuts, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns. Toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon ground cumin. Toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
