Dukkah Spice Seasoning

Dukkah is Egypt's famous blend of nuts, seeds and warm spices. Make this quick dukkah recipe and store it for use as a snack (with bread and olive oil); as a crust for your meats; or as a nutty topping to add texture and flavor to anything from soups and salads, to chicken, fish or roasted vegetables. The flavor of dukkah can vary depending on the types of nuts and spices in your blend, but dukkah should always have a crunchy, crumbly texture
