Duqqah is a North African spice blend made from a combination of nuts, seeds, and spices. It is traditionally served with bread and olive oil for dipping, but can also be used as a seasoning for meat, fish, vegetables, and salads. This versatile spice mix is easy to make at home and can be customized to individual tastes by adjusting the ratio of nuts, spices, and seasonings.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Scatter hazelnuts, pistachios, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper onto a baking sheet, then stir to combine.
3.	Bake until fragrant and lightly toasted, stirring once halfway through, for about 5 to 8 minutes.
4.	Let cool, then transfer mixture to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground, with some larger pieces still remaining.

PROS

Duqqah is a flavorful spice blend that can be used in a variety of ways, including as a dip, sprinkled on salads, or mixed with olive oil as a bread dip.

It is vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb, making it suitable for a variety of diets.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Due to the high nut and seed content, Duqqah is an excellent source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Hazelnuts are high in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, iron, and vitamin E, while pistachios are high in protein, fiber, and minerals like potassium and zinc.
Both seeds and nuts have anti-inflammatory properties and may help to reduce the risk of chronic disease when consumed as part of a healthy diet.
