Uses for Dukkah

[judydawn]

Me too, thanks.

Most of what I saw at the markets had macadamia's in them.  Guess that would be nice too.  Will have to try some after all these good ideas.

Oh, and I rolled my yoghurt cheese balls in a blend of dukkah and mixed dried herbs before putting them in the jar of olive oil - delish on little pieces of turkish bread!

Can you direct me to the yoghurt cheese ball recipe pretty please?

Maddy, took me a while but I finally found what you are looking for.

Thank-you Judy

Thanks for a wonderful thread!  I have been threatening to give Dukkah a try for ages (first heard of it on this forum), but couldn't really imagine what I'd use it for.  I'm now feeling inspired.

Good to hear you back in the kitchen - how's the littl'un ?

Dukkah is everywhere over here.  Think 2 chefs - Greg Malouf and Maggie Beer really got us using it/devouring it !

The littl'un's doing well now that she's on hypoallergenic milk, thanks.  And sleeping better at nights, which is good news for us!    I'm not yet back in the kitchen on the scale that I'd like to be, but it still feels great to be cooking again.  I even got back to the allotment to work for a bit yesterday, which felt fantastic!!!!  Absolute bliss.

My parents are over for a couple of weeks at the moment, and Mum's said she'll take the kids one day so that I can splurge in the kitchen and on my sewing machine.  Can't wait.  I need to make a list of things I want to do so I'm ready to hit the kitchen running.  I think I'll probably do a bit of baking, and an Indian meal, including chappatis.  I made them at a demo I did last week for an Indian family.  I made the dough, and they taught me what consistency they should be so that I know whether they have the right amount of water, and how to roll them out and cook them properly.  It was great to have a demo where I was learning too.  I only hope I can remember everything they told me about what spices work well with what, to get the best combinations.

Anyone got any suggestions for 'must tries' from the Indian book or for baking??

Thanks for finding that JD! I hadn't checked back in to this thread, so didn't realise that Maddy had requested the link.

CarolineW - still haven't done much from the Indian book - wonder if others might be able to suggest some MUST DOs ??

I made some Dukkah on the weekend - Pistachio ! Delish! My favourite way to eat it is to press it firmly onto lamb steaks and cook on a medium to medium high heat ....... gorgeous.

I have never used Dukkah - I was helping out with the new mothers luncheon at school (the new fathers have a BBQ) and they were talking about how good the prawns were turns out they had been marinated in dukkah, oil and salt I think then cooked.

judydawn, maybe you can blanch  the hazelnuts to peel them, i did this with almonds recently and it worked really well. peeled so easily, i havnt tried it with hazelnuts, does anybody know if you can do this? you can always toast them after to dry them out to keep the dukkah dry.

[judydawn]

Thanks Nik, worth a try.  Maybe someone has tried it.
