Ingredients:

Olive oil for dipping
Crusty bread

DUKKA:
1/2 cup macadamia or Brazil nuts
1/4 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup coriander seeds
1/4 cup cumin seeds
1 tsp. each salt and ground cumin
1/2 tsp. each pepper and cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions:

Spread macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds on rimmed baking sheet; toast in 350°F (180°C) oven for 9 minutes.

Sprinkle with coconut; toast, stirring often, until fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

Meanwhile, on separate rimmed baking sheet, toast sesame seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds until sesame seeds are golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool.

In clean coffee grinder or mini food processor, chop nut mixture until fine with a few larger pieces; transfer to bowl.

Add seed mixture to grinder; pulse until finely chopped. Add to nut mixture along with salt, ground cumin, pepper, cinnamon and cayenne; stir to combine. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.)

Antipasto Platter:

Markets have a feast of ready-made foods that are ideal for an antipasto platter.

Try a few of these along with the Dukka: marinated mushrooms or artichokes; cheeses, such as feta, buffalo mozzarella or creamy goat cheese; oil-cured black olives or green olives stuffed with pimientos or almonds; oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes; sourdough bread (or other loaves flavoured with olives, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes or cheese).

Comments from olga :

Dip crusty bread first in olive oil, then in Dukka (which originated in Egypt) for an unusual and delicious appetizer.
