The Dukkah

( you could use all pistachios or any combo of nuts)
80 g shelled pistachios
30g pine nuts
80g sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. coriander seeds
2 Tbsp. cumin seeds
2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. sea salt


Dry roast nuts & seeds 8 mins, varoma temp, speed 1.
Allow to cool, add in the salt & pepper, then turbo pulse until you have the consistency your happy with, set aside in a container.
(I pulsed 3-4 times on a short burst)

The cheese ball

2 Pkts. Cream cheese, room temp & cubed.
2 spring onions, finely chopped (green part)
Cracked pepper.
4 Tbsp. Dukkah

Add cream cheese, spring onions, dukkah & cracked pepper to taste.
Mix 10 seconds,  :-: speed 5, or until all blended.

Lay out a big sheet of plastic wrap, sprinkle over dukkah, scrape cream cheese mix into middle of wrap, then roll to form a ball & coat completely in dukkah.
Wrap up tightly in the glad wrap, and pop in fridge.
You can make 1 large or 2 medium sized ball.
I made the night before serving &  Take out at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve with a pate knife on crackers.

This looks so special. Thanks Maddy. We are going down to a friends farm this week so I think this will be my gift to take down.

Made this when my sister and her OH dropped in on their way home to Qld. It's really, really good.

I made two logs expecting to have one left for later.  Wrong. After finishing the first log, then dinner and desert, they asked if there was any more of that yummy cheese ball left  :o It was then demolished (with help from DH, DS20 and DS16).

Easy as and very moorish :) Thanks Maddy

I want to thank you Maddy for a delicious addition to our nibbles. And bump this recipe.
I used bought dukkah, it was made in seconds,delicious and could be made well before required. It also looked impressive and everyone enjoyed it.
