Having never made Dukkah before and eaten it so many times I thought it was worth giving a crack. And believe you me it’s as simple as it is delicious. Dukkah is an Egyptian nut, seed and spice blend designed to be eaten with bread and oil, but I’ve been seeing it popping up in many a Melbourne brunch spot sprinkled over poached eggs. I used almonds in this recipe, but feel free to use hazelnuts or any other nut that tickles your pickle. I added a dash of chilli powder, but it would work just as well without. Make it en masse, keep it in an air-tight container in a dark place and it will last for ages – ready to be pulled out when unexpected guests drop in. - alex
