Dukkah (spice & nut mix)

دقة (بهارات ومكسرات)

Spice & nut mix eaten with bread (not the koshary sauce)

Why

A traditional Egyptian blend of toasted sesame, coriander, cumin, and salt — sometimes with nuts. Eaten with bread dipped in olive oil. Note: this refers to the spice-and-nut mix, not the koshary sauce (the garlic-vinegar-cumin sauce poured on koshary) — koshary itself is best avoided because it contains lentils.
