This fragrant Egyptian spice-and-nut blend is one of those pantry staples that quietly elevates everything it touches — warm bread, roasted vegetables, soft cheese, a drizzle of olive oil. The combination of toasted hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin creates a deeply aromatic, nutty crunch that feels both rustic and sophisticated. For anyone nursing, getting enough healthy fats and minerals can feel like a constant puzzle, and this blend delivers on both fronts through ingredients like hazelnuts and sesame seeds, which are naturally rich in the good stuff. The whole process is straightforward: toast, cool, pulse — and you're done in under half an hour with a jar that keeps for weeks. Because everything is made from scratch with whole seeds and nuts, you know exactly what's going into it, which matters when you're paying close attention to what you eat. Keep a jar on the counter and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly, whether you're dipping bread before a meal or finishing a bowl of hummus.

Spread the hazelnuts on a dry baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–12 minutes, until the skins are cracked and the nuts are deep golden beneath the skin.
Transfer the hot hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel, fold the towel over them, and rub vigorously for about 1 minute to remove as much of the papery skin as possible. Let the nuts cool for 5 minutes.
