DUKKAH ... a Nut blend❣
$ 5.95
The Egyptian Dukkah is no traditional spice blend.
Which is exactly why you'll want to try it. Without moderation!
❖ Dukkah [doo-kah] is a savory crunchy specialty with a distinctly nutty taste, a wonderfully fragrant combination of roasted nuts and seeds, that is all about savouriness and adding easy rich flavor to the simplest and plainest of foods, but also with endless culinary possibilities.
Dukkah combines exotic toasted spices, hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds, and dried herbs with sea salt and sesame seeds for a deeply satisfying flavor and texture. It shares a few of the same components as Za'atar, such as thyme and sesame seeds.
Dukkah, more versatile than one may think, is delicious when used as a dip with crusty bread and olive oil, and amazing when used to coat chicken, veal or fish prior to frying or baking. Dukkah can be enjoyed from snacking to cooking, adding instant smoky, wonderful nutty flavor and crunch to whatever you sprinkle it on.
❖ Flavor profile
Earthy and fragrant with a very subtleness that hits the back of the throat. You’ll also find hints of tangy, nutty and just a bit of saltiness. Lacks heat because it lacks any chiles. Dukkah is surprisingly addictive and can quickly found a way into your heart.
❖ Here are just a few ways you can rock the Dukkah:
- Traditionally, Dukkah is the perfect companion to fresh crusty bread and extra virgin olive oil: bread is dipped first in olive oil and then in Dukkah for an unforgettable bite packed with flavor.
- Dukkah is so much more versatile than just being used for dipping. In addition to using this as a dip for flat bread it can also add some flavor complexity and character to baba-ganoush, bruschetta, hummus, omelets, pasta, quesadillas, rice, salads, steamed vegetables, and yogurt.
- Try using Dukkah for all manner of crusts and rubs for chicken, lamb, fish, and even tofu, or anywhere a salty and savory crunch would be nice.
- Use it to season eggs, grilled meats, soups, salads and even popcorn.
- Spice up your burger game: grill up lamb burgers seasoned with Dukkah and topped with a vibrant herbed yogurt sauce.
- Or try it like in Middle Eastern street markets, where Dukkah is often found portioned out in paper cones for snacking by itself.
- Generously sprinkled over scrambled eggs. Swirl it into some good olive oil or into your favorite tahini sauce or hummus.
- Sprinkled on labneh (yogurt cheese) along with a drizzle of good-quality olive oil.
- Dukkah adds an explosion of delicious flavor when sprinkled on roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes, meat and leafy salads, feta cheese.
- Try it on pan-roasted carrots in winter, steamed asparagus in the spring, grilled eggplant in summer and broiled romanesco or cauliflower steaks in the fall.
- A little Dukkah sprinkled on legume pastes such as hummus, and over simply cooked rice or lentils, or as a crust for goat cheese or tuna is a simple way to enhance their inherent flavors.
- Used as a crumb for lentil keftethes or veggie burgers.
- Try Zucchini chips encrusted in Dukkah.
- Sprinkled over béchamel sauce layer of moussaka before baking.
- Simply served over a bowl of thick Greek yoghurt.
- Use it to season grilled meats, soups, and even popcorn.
- Sprinkled on everything from fried chickpeas, pasta, pizza, rice, feta cheese, and even fresh fruit.
- Garnish a bowl of soup, or rub some onto salmon before grilling. Or stirred into pasta.
- Dukkah adds an all around kick to your favorite recipe! Try experimenting with it.
- Dukkah is one of those things that we continuously find new purposes for. One personal favorite is with Dukkah Pita Chips—toss triangles of pita with olive oil and a healthy smattering of Dukkah. Then spread pita triangles in one layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes. These chips are the ideal accompaniment over a bowlful of hummus, baba ganoush or a Middle Eastern inspired dip.

$ 3.50
Why we love this blend?
Kickin' Cajun delivers the smokey warmth that typifies the ideal N’awlins cajun taste. One mouthful, and you’ll think you’re on Bourbon Street in N’awlins!
“Cajun” refers to the rustic cuisine of rural Louisiana that was developed by displaced French Canadians during their expulsion from British rule in the 1750's. Cajun food is characterized by simple French & Mediterranean style, one pot style dishes. Kickin' Cajun is the perfect blend of zesty, spicy, savory flavors that are sure to kick any dish up a delicious notch. It's more versatile than you'd think.
❖ Taste and Aroma Profile
This delicious blend has a bit of mild spiciness with just a bit of temperate heat that delights the palate, balanced with the aromatics of fragrant coriander, onion and garlic and the tastes of hearty oregano, sweet paprika and floral thyme. Saratoga Spicery Kickin' Cajun unveils all of the intensity of Cayenne pepper, whose characteristic zing envelops the taste buds in an explosion of flavors and tantalizing notes.
❖ How to Enjoy it
- This seasoning is so tasty and versatile that whether you do a lot of Cajun style cooking —gumbo or jambalaya— or not, you'll find many ways to enjoy it. It's the kind of spice blend that you can use on all kind of things that are not necessarily straight-ahead Cajun dishes.
- Use it as a dry rub (or moisten with olive oil) on fish, chicken, prawns or steaks.
- Adds a spicy zip to fresh crawfish, pork, kabobs, and burgers. In a pinch, Cajun seasoning adds a lot of flavor when you need it.
- Mix with extra virgin olive oil, brush over salmon, then grill.
- Mix with ground turkey breast or 90% lean ground beef, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped red onion for a jazzed up burger.
- Sprinkle over freshly popped popcorn. As with popcorn, Cajun seasoning adds a great extra bit of zip to a vehicle of butter and salt like croutons. You can also use it in the breadcrumbs on top of a pasta bake or casserole. Just stir in a bit along with the salt and oil, and toast the croutons up.
- Mix with Greek yogurt as a dip for veggies or baked potato topper. If you want a way to add some extra oomph to storebought creamy dips like ranch or blue cheese, a good way is to stir in Kickin' Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Combine with crabmeat and cream cheese for surprisingly delectable party food.
- Add to soups, vegetable, lentils or sprinkle over baked potatoes, gratins or grilled tomatoes.
- If you're making a Bloody Mary or a Michelada, try rimming the glass with Kickin' Cajun and salt for a fun twist on the familiar cocktail.
- You can use Kickin' Cajun as a blackening or all-purpose seasoning: Use about 1 tsp. per pound of meat.
- In addition, use as a sprinkle to liven up vegetables, rice and bean dishes, tofu, pasta, or salads.
- We also find it is great on all kinds of potatoes (baked, roasted, fries, etc), especially baked sweet potato fries.
- It's terrific scrambled into eggs for a spicy breakfast.
- It's delicious stirred into everything from hummus, queso, spinach artichoke dip, even guacamole.
- Make the best stovetop Mac and Cheese, just stirring an extra tablespoon or two of Kickin' Cajun.
- Mix it into a marinade, or rub it right on dry or with a little extra virgin olive oil, and it’s ready to go! It’s an easy way to spice up – literally – an ordinary vegetable or side dish!
- Make spiced cashews to serve with drinks. In a bowl mix one pound raw unsalted cashews, 1 egg white, half a cup sugar and 3 tablespoons Kickin' Cajun mix. Mix all together and then pour onto a baking tray. Bake in medium over until brown. Cool and then separate mixture — add a little sea salt to taste, (great also with almonds!).
-
For a great fajita marinade, mix together 1 tablespoon Kickin' Cajun seasoning, 2/3 cup vegetable oil and 1/3 cup lime juice or vinegar. Let your chicken, pork, flank or round steak marinate in the fridge overnight, then toss it in a hot cast-iron skillet and cook quickly until done. Serve with bell pepper, onion slices, flour tortillas and sour cream and guacamole for a tasty, easy meal.
❖ Ingredients
We’ve combined a link with the old world herbs & spices of Greek oregano, delicate thyme and cumin with the new world spices of Hungarian paprika, fragrant coriander, cayenne pepper, bold Tellicherry black pepper, dehydrated organic garlic powder, minced onion, and pristine Himalayan pink crystal sea salt (Gourmet food grade), resulting in a perfectly balanced blend-with-a-kick.
