Dukkah Recipe

• 1 cup of shelled pistachio nuts
• 1 cup of almonds
• 1 tablespoon of whole coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon of whole cumin seeds
• ½ teaspoon of dried thyme
• ¼ cup of sesame seeds
• ¼ teaspoon of salt

Firstly toast the nuts in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Toast the spice seeds and sesame seeds separately in the same way. Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients in a food processor. Grind the mixture until it resembles small breadcrumbs. The mixture should be very dry and crumbly, not a paste. Be careful as over processing can release the oil from the nuts making the mixture moist, which you don't want.
