Ingredients

  • ½ cup raw white sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup coriander seeds
  • ¼ cup cumin seeds
  • ½ cup raw skinless unsalted peanuts
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • extra-virgin olive oil and/ or labneh and fresh Lebanese bread, to serve

Resting time: 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Place a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Dry roast the sesame seeds, shaking the pan continuously until fragrant but not burning or smoking. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Repeat with the spices and peanuts, placing each in a separate bowl to cool as you go.
  2. Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, pound or process the toasted ingredients one at time until coarsely ground – you don’t want a fine powder. Place in a bowl and stir in the salt.
  3. To serve, place some dukkah in a small bowl alongside a bowl of extra-virgin olive oil for dipping or a bowl of labneh for spreading, with Lebanese bread on the side.
