Dukkah Nut and Spice Mix
Hailing from Egypt, this nut and spice mix can be used in many ways. From seasoning rice dishes to sprinkling it on baked fish, it packs a serious flavour punch that your food will thank you for. It’s especially interesting served with our Celery Root Puree with Dukkah, as a side dish. A simple way to try it is to sprinkle it on top of a fried egg and enjoy!
