For me, dukkah serves two purposes: It’s a delicious condiment to have around and it’s also a great way to use up dried nuts and spices after I’ve cleaned out my pantry. In Arabic, the word dukkah means “to pound,” and after some quick research, I learned that there is more than one way to make it. It generally consists of hazelnuts, sesame seeds, cumin, coriander, and peppercorns, and it involves two simple steps: toasting and pounding. I improvised based on the ingredients I had, and I encourage you to do the same.
