Dukkah Recipe Jamie Oliver Recipe For Zucchini

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and bake for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant. While the nuts are still hot, pour them onto a tea towel. Fold the towel over them to cover, and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Set aside to cool.
• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until light golden brown. Pour into a medium bowl as soon as they are done so they will not continue toasting. In the same skillet, toast the coriander and cumin seeds while shaking the pan or stirring occasionally until they begin to pop. Transfer to a food processor. Process until finely ground, then pour into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Place the cooled hazelnuts into the food processor, and process until finely ground. Stir into the bowl with the spices. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

EGYPTIAN DUKKAH RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the hazelnuts and almonds in a dry cast iron pan (do NOT add oil). Toast briefly over medium-high heat, tossing regularly, until the nuts gain some color (watch for nuts to turn a nice golden brown). Transfer to a side dish for now.
• Place the sesame seeds in the same skillet and return to the heat. Toast over medium heat, tossing regularly, until the sesame seeds turn golden brown (this will be fairly quick so watch carefully).
• Add the toasted nuts and sesame seeds to the bowl of a small food processor fitted with a blade. Add the pistachios, fennel seeds, spices, and a generous dash of kosher salt. Pulse for a few seconds until you reach a nice coarse mixture (Do not over process the dukkah. The mixture should not be too fine. See photos and video for exact texture).
• Transfer the dukkah to a bowl to serve. Add a small bowl of extra virgin olive oil and your favorite bread for dipping (I like pita bread or even Jerusalem bagel). You can also store the dukkah in a tight-lid jar for up to 2 weeks to use as a topping for salad, soup, chicken, meats, or roasted vegetables!

BEAUTIFUL ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Place a large frying pan on a high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Peel and lightly squash the garlic clove and add to the pan, moving it around to perfume the oil. Slice the guanciale into rough 1-centimeter (3/8-inch) chunks and add to the pan to let the fat render out. Trim the zucchini, halve lengthways, then chop into 2-centimeter (3/4-inch) chunks. Stir into the pan, then season with a little sea salt and a good pinch of black pepper. Halve or quarter the tomatoes, deseed, and add to the pan. Pick, roughly chop and add the parsley leaves.
• Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally. This gives you a really fresh, delicious zucchini dish full of life, just how Nonna Maria made it. Or you can turn the heat down lower and cook it for 40 minutes, so you get a deeper, sweeter, frumpier result, adding a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Both ways are delicious, and celebrate zucchini at their very best. Just before serving, taste and check you've got the seasoning spot on.

DUKKAH BEEF CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Rub the steak all over with ½ a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
• Get a non-stick frying pan hot on a high heat, then sear the steak on all sides for 3 minutes in total. Remove to a board.
• Finely slice the radishes, reserving any nice leaves. Halve the pomegranate and holding one half cut side down in your fingers, bash the back of it with a spoon so all the seeds tumble out into a bowl.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining half through a sieve into a separate bowl.
• Quarter the preserved lemons and trim away the seedy core. Finely chop the rind and add to the pomegranate juice with 1 tablespoon each of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar, then taste and season to perfection.
• Slice the steak as finely as you can, then use the side of your knife to flatten and stretch out each slice.
• Divide between your plates, sprinkle over the radishes and leaves, then spoon over the dressing.
• Scatter over the dukkah and pomegranate seeds, then finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

DUKKAH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grind all the ingredients in a food processor in 5-second intervals until the spices are blended and the almonds are crushed (but not so much that they become a paste). Spread the mixture on a flat baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
