  • 2 Tbsp raw pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds // or sub roasted hazelnuts or almonds*)
  • 1 Tbsp Raw sesame seeds If using toasted nuts, you can add them directly to a mortar and pestle.
  • 1 Tbsp whole coriander seeds*
  • 2 tsp whole cumin seeds*
  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns*
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • Over low-medium heat, heat a small or medium skillet. Add pepitas and toast, stirring occasionally, until they begin to pop and puff up slightly — about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

  • Add sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and black peppercorns and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the sesame seeds begin turning light brown — about 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle (or small food processor).
  • Salt and pulse the mixture to make a coarse meal. Be sure to break down any peppercorns. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add cumin seeds for smokeiness, coriander seeds and sesame seeds for brightness.

*We preferred the taste and ease of pepitas, but hazelnuts or almonds are also delicious. To toast almonds or hazelnuts roasted in hazelnuts, heat them in step 2.
*We highly recommend using whole spices for the right texture and flavor, but if you want to create something similar with ground spices, use half the amount of ground coriander, cumin, and black pepper.
*Recipe as written makes ~1/4 cup dukkah.
