Dukkah

Cooking Fish Dukkah

This exotic condiment, created by Curtis Stone, will spice up any vegetable, meat or fish dish with Middle Eastern fervour.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C (180C).
  2. Arrange the hazelnuts on a baking tray and roast, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until fragrant and golden. Cool completely. Rub the hazelnuts in a tea towel to remove the dark brown skins.
  3. Heat a small heavy frying pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds and stir for about 3 minutes, or until aromatic and toasted. Remove the coriander seeds and set aside. In the same pan, stir the sesame seeds and cumin seeds for about 3 minutes, or until they are toasted and aromatic. Cool completely.
  4. In a food processor, pulse the coriander seeds 4 times to break them up. Add the hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and cumin seeds. Pulse to make a very coarse blend. It should be the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. Over-blending will make a paste that is undesirable.
  5. Transfer the dukkah to a bowl and stir in the salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
