Dukkah is a great spice mix to have in your cupboard and can be served just with our very own Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil and crusty bread, but also works well as a salad, with fish or chicken, and as a soup topping. Here we are serving it with a halloumi salad.

Ingredients

For the Dressing:

• 2 tablespoons of Fussels Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil
• 1 tablespoon of Fussels Garlic Rapeseed Oil
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar

For the Dukkah spice mix:

• 50g hazelnuts
• 50g almonds
• 50g pistachios
• 50g cashews
• 50g sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoon of cumin seeds
• 2 tablespoon of coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
• 1/4 teaspoon of chilli flakes

For the salad:

• 1 block of halloumi
• Little oil for frying
• Lettuce leaves
• Cooked peas and broad beans
• Mint leaves

Method

For the dressing, combine all the ingredients and leave to one side.

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Spread the nuts on a large baking tray and toast for 4-5 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool.

Either coarsely chop or process the nuts in a food processor and pour into a bowl.

Get a large pan and place over high heat and dry fry the sesame seeds until golden for 1-2 minutes and add to the nuts. Add the coriander and cumin seeds and chilli flakes into the same pan and toast for 1-2 minutes, until the seeds start to ‘pop’ and dance in the pan. Then, either grind them in a coffee grinder or pound until fine in a mortar and pestle and add to the nut mixture.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

We added a little dried cornflower for it’s stunning blue colour.

Keep in an airtight container.

To cook the halloumi: preheat the Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil in a large pan and slice the cheese.

Fry on medium high heat until golden brown and crispy.

Arrange the lettuce, peas and broad beans on a plate and top with halloumi.

Sprinkle with the dukkah spice mix and pour over the dressing and mint.
