DUKKAH RECIPES
Originally an Egyptian blend of seeds nuts and spices Dukkah is commonly served with olive oil and bread for dipping.
There are however many more wonderful ways to use this product in everyday cooking that will add a lovely crunch and flavour explosion where ever you use it.
Cobara Authentic Foods produce 4 distinctive flavours Traditional, Fragrant, Tuscan and Spiced which all provide plenty of options with some great ways to use Yummy Dukkah in your daily meals.
As a crust for Chicken, Pork, Lamb or Fish you’ll be rewarded with succulent meat / fish and a flavour-packed crunchy crust as it works amazingly well (see recipes below). It’s also fantastic to sprinkle it on post-cooking.
Sprinkled on poached eggs, scrambled or fried the spices and crunchiness makes a heavenly contrast to rich creamy yolks.
Dukkah is amazing with all soft cheese especially a creamy fresh goats cheese, brie or ricotta. If you’re feeling fancy, you can roll cubes or scoops of the cheese in a dukkah crust.
Dukkah sprinkled on top of home-made natural yoghurt is great too and helps increase your protein intake.
Just sprinkle Dukkah on before serving your salad and you will get maximum crunch. The sesame seeds and almonds in the Dukkah are a quick way to make your salad more substantial and filling.
If you’re looking for a way to jazz up your avocado on toast, you definitely must add some dukkah! Avocado and dukkah are friends wherever they find themselves.
