Had this at a party not too long ago. I don't know if I ever posted this or not. This one is super easy to do and tastes amazing. If you don't eat meat then ignore the bottom part about spreading meat products when making it as a pizza. You can sub just about any vegitable and or tofu product in it's palce.
DUKKAH RECIPE:
1 cup shelled pistachio nuts, roasted and skinned
1 cup almonds
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
(how to)
Firstly toast the nuts in a hot, dry, non-stick pan, shaking constantly, until the nuts release their natural oils and get a “roasted” smell. Be careful not to burn them. Remove nuts to a sheet pan to cool then toast the spice seeds and sesame seeds separately in the same way. Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients in a food processor. Grind the mixture until it resembles small breadcrumbs. The mixture should be very dry and crumbly, not a paste. Be careful as over processing can release the oil from the nuts making the mixture moist, which you don't want.
(How to)
serve Dukkah: Simply dip small pieces of fresh bread in good quality olive oil and then into the Dukkah and eat.
Spread pita bread or pizza bases with some olive oil and Dukkah, and then lightly grill. Cut into wedges and serve. Coat chicken, fish or lamb in Dukkah and quickly sauté and finish in the oven until done. Sprinkle over salads or pasta dishes.
