High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Dukkah

This Egyptian spice-and-nut blend is one of those pantry staples that quietly transforms everything it touches — crusty bread dipped in olive oil, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or even a soft-boiled egg. The process is deeply satisfying: you toast hazelnuts until their skins crack and the kitchen fills with a warm, nutty perfume, then layer in coriander, cumin, sesame, and cracked pepper until every element is fragrant and golden. A few short pulses in the food processor (or some elbow grease with a mortar and pestle) brings it all together into a coarse, sandy crumble that has serious texture and depth. Because every single ingredient here is a whole seed, nut, or spice, there's zero concern about sneaky sweeteners or processed additives — just pure, unadulterated flavor from start to finish. That's actually harder to guarantee with store-bought versions, which sometimes include fillers or flavor enhancers you'd rather avoid. A pinch of flaky sea salt ties it all together, and the optional dried thyme adds a subtle herbal note that makes the blend feel a little more complex. Make a jar on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
