Authentic Dukka

My Dukka recipe, I sometimes use it to coat salmon
or rainbow trout fillets before frying or baking.
In Australia dukka is very popular as a condiment
used with olive oil. They pour some olive oil on a
plate and then sprinkle dukka in it.
Then people dip bread in the dukka'd oil.
With olive oil and bread. It's addictive.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup blanched almonds
1/4 cup cumin seeds
1/4 cup coriander seeds
1-1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1 tbsp. paprika
1-1/2 tsp. turmeric

Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the seeds and almonds in oven to roast,
using separate foil dishes or pie plates.
The first few take longer than those listed last.
Watch carefully, checking them at least every 5 minutes,
and take out each container when the seeds have darkened
a little (but not a lot) and have an appetizing aroma.
As a guide, most will take about 10 minutes,
but sesame and sunflower seeds take longer.

Leave to cool, then grind with the salt,
paprika and turmeric, in one or
two batches in a food processor,
using the pulse button,
or grind in a mortal and pestle.
The mixture should have some texture,
it should not be ground to a powder.
