Bringing the crunch, flavour and fun to any meal, this nutty green dukkah is perfect for sprinkling over everything – on top of salads, meats, pasta, eggs, hummus, or avo on toast.
Fancy doesn’t need to be complicated.

Ingredients
75g pistachio kernels, roughly chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
½ tsp cracked black pepper
¼ tsp sea salt
Method
In a dry frying pan over medium heat, toast the chopped pistachios for 3 minutes until lightly toasted. Add the fennel, sesame and coriander seeds and toast for a further 2 minutes until the pistachios are becoming golden and the seeds are fragrant and toasted. Transfer to a mortar & pestle and grind until the seeds form a coarse powder around the chopped pistachios, still with some texture and crunch. Stir through the pepper and sea salt. Store in an airtight container.
