Doa or Dukkah

Directions

1. 1
   Put each variety of seeds and nuts on a separate tray or a shallow oven dish and roast them all in a preheated 350F oven for 1020 minutes, until they just begin to color and give off a slight aroma.
2. 2
   As they take different times, you must keep an eye on them so that they do not become too brown, and take each out as it is ready.
3. 3
   Alternatively, you can toast them in a large dry frying pan, stirring constantly.
4. 4
   Put them together in the food processor with salt and pepper and grind them until they are finely crushed but not pulverized.
5. 5
   Be careful not to overblend, or the oil from the too finely ground seeds and nuts will form a paste: dukkah should be a crushed dry mixture, not a paste.
6. 6
   Taste and add salt if desirable.
7. 7
   Some people use peanuts or almonds instead of hazelnuts, and some add dried mint.
8. 8
   Some use no nuts.
