Almond Dukkah is a popular Middle Eastern spice blend made from a variety of nuts, seeds, and spices. The blend typically includes sesame seeds, coriander seed, cumin seeds, and fennel seed, along with other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Almond Dukkah is traditionally served as a dip for crusty bread and olive oil, but it can also be used as a seasoning for salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. The combination of nuts, seeds, and spices gives this blend a unique flavor and texture that will enhance any dish.
