Spicy Egyptian Dukkah With Chickpea Flour image

Dukkah is very popular in Egypt, where it is made with chickpea flour, sesame seeds, sometimes dill seeds, and spices. I like to toast the chickpea flour. I use the mixture, which is adapted from a dukkah in "The Arab Table," by May S. Bsisu, not only as a condiment for vegetables and bread, but also as a coating for fried fish or vegetables.

Time 15m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup lightly toasted unsalted peanuts
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons lightly toasted dill seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon lightly toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons sumac

Steps:

  • In a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, toast the chickpea flour, stirring constantly or shaking the pan, just until it begins to smell toasty and darken slightly. Transfer immediately to a bowl.
  • Finely chop the peanuts and add to the bowl with the chickpea flour.
  • One at a time, heat the coriander seeds, caraway seeds, dill seeds and sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking the pan or stirring constantly, just until each is fragrant and beginning to smell toasty. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
  • Working in batches, combine the coriander seeds, caraway seeds and dill seeds in a spice mill and grind to a powder. Transfer to the bowl with the chickpea flour and stir in the sesame seeds, salt, cayenne and sumac.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The dukkah is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of heat. I've been using it on everything from eggs to roasted vegetables.
