Doa or Dukkah
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 3/4 cups coriander seeds
- 2/3 cup blanched (skinned) hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (optional)
- Put each variety of seeds and nuts on a separate tray or a shallow oven dish and roast them all in a preheated 350F oven for 1020 minutes, until they just begin to color and give off a slight aroma.
- As they take different times, you must keep an eye on them so that they do not become too brown, and take each out as it is ready.
- Alternatively, you can toast them in a large dry frying pan, stirring constantly.
- Put them together in the food processor with salt and pepper and grind them until they are finely crushed but not pulverized.
- Be careful not to overblend, or the oil from the too finely ground seeds and nuts will form a paste: dukkah should be a crushed dry mixture, not a paste.
- Taste and add salt if desirable.
- Some people use peanuts or almonds instead of hazelnuts, and some add dried mint.
- Some use no nuts.
