Dukkha Spice Mix

Dukkha- Anti-inlfammatory Spice Mix

Dukkah is a delicious Egyptian sesame seed and spice mixture. Its crunchy texture works well as a plant based high protein topping for salads, steamed and adds a dimension of flavor to steamed vegetables, especially greens.

Hints of cumin and coriander in the mix lend a nice flavour to pan fried fish (great on halibut!) tofu, or hearty stews?especially good with lamb.
