This Macadamia Dukkah is a moorish and aromatic middle eastern spice and nut mix that is gluten free and low FODMAP. Use as a dip with crusty bread and olive oil, sprinkle on salads, or coat on chicken, fish, meat or vegetables.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 1

Ingredients
2/3 cup macadamias
1/3 cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp chilli (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place the macadamias on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, turning every two minutes to evenly roast the nuts. Take out, cool and blend until almost ground, leaving some larger chunks for added texture. Set aside in a airtight container or jar.

Lightly dry roast the sesame seeds in a fry pan on a medium heat for 1 minute or until slightly golden brown. Add to the macadamias in the airtight container or jar.

Add the cumin and coriander to a frypan and stir over a medium heat for 2 minutes or until aromatic. Add chilli and pepper and stir for 1 minute.

Take spices off the heat and place in a mortar and pestle with the salt and grind until smooth.
