Egyptian Eggs With Dukkah Recipes

Steps:

• DUKKAH.
• Roast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and hazelnuts until golden and fragrant. (You may need to do each of these separately, so none of them scorch).
• Rub the skins off of the hazelnuts as much as possible.
• Combine the seeds and nuts in a spice or coffee grinder, and grind until they are chopped, but not pulverized into a paste. Add the salt and pepper. If you have any of the Dukkah left over, keep it in a airtight container in the refrigerator.
• EGGS.
• Soft boil the eggs for 3 minutes, then cool and peel under running water to easily remove the shells.
• Lightly dredge the eggs in the flour, dusting off any excess, then deep fry for a minute or two, until they are golden brown.
• Remove from the oil and roll in the Dukkah.
• Serve immediately with a light salad for an appetizer, or as is for a quick snack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the hazelnut dukkah: Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for 12 minutes. Let cool. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a saute pan over medium heat, about 1 minute.
• Grind the coriander, cumin and hazelnuts in a spice grinder. Mix with the sesame seeds.
• For the spinach pie: In a large skillet, saute the garlic and shallots in the butter over medium heat until softened. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the dill, nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, then stir in the Cheddar and mozzarella.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread with the spinach stuffing. Lay the other sheet on top, pinch the edges closed, and cut into six pieces. Sprinkle with dukkah and brush the edges with egg wash. Set the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until the pie is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the sumac and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a 11x13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil mixture and toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring potatoes every 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix butter and dukkah. Brush over potatoes, then return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and golden. Sprinkle with salt and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat a small, heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
• Shake gently until they turn a shade darker and give out a nutty smell.
• Tip them into a bowl.
• Repeat this process with the coriander and cumin seeds.
• Allow them cool and crisp up for a few minutes.
• Place the sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, peppercorns and salt in a clean coffee or spice grinder and grind finely.
• Finely chop the hazelnuts in the grinder, taking care not to over-blend them into a paste.
• Mix the finely chopped hazelnuts with the sesame seed mixture and the cinnamon.
• Store in an airtight container until needed.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the onions for 5 mins, stirring occasionally until starting to colour. Stir in the ground coriander and paprika, then tip in the tomatoes with a can of water. Add the bouillon powder and courgettes, cover and cook for 6 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the dukkah. Warm the whole spices, sesame seeds and almonds in a pan until aromatic, stirring frequently, then remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the butter beans, tomatoes and peas to the courgettes, cover and cook for 5 mins more. Stir in the coriander, then spoon into bowls. Crush the spices and almonds using a pestle and mortar and scatter on top. If you're cooking for two people, put half the seed mix in a jar and chill half the veg for another day.
