I first heard about this in a magazine flying from Seattle to Fairbanks and was instantly intrigued. The chef did not give measures and just a brief overview of the ingredients. I needed to personalize it to what I have available to me in Alaska. Wow....I love dipping this mix in quality olive oils and artisan breads. Give this a try. This is an EXCELLENT appetizer for your guests!

How To Make dukkah (egyptian nut/spice)

    In a food processor, lightly process the seeds, nuts and salt, mint, sugar and red pepper. It should resemble a corse grind.
