Albacore tuna is in season here in the Pacific Northwest so I dipped the tuna in olive oil (skipped the mustard and cheese), pressed on the dukkah and seared it briefly. It was so good with and without the honey-balsamic reduction. I made tuna dukkah once this way and cut it in cubes for an appetiser and again as a main course. Thanks for all your amazing ideas.

I knew we shared a love of recipe collection but I never knew we shared an understanding of grocery store politics. I'm a GW grad (twice over, oy) and still in DC!

Made this last night, dukkah as in the Spice Lovers Bible, and on boneless skinless thighs. What a treat. We also enjoyed the honey-balsamic reduction. Had this with roasted cauliflower, sweet potatos, and caramelized onions. I totally forgot about a grain, cous cous would have been great. I am so excited to try the dukkah on many other foods!

Just made this for the hubby and I tonight and it was delicious. He said that it was a great pairing of flavors. I didn't have hazelnuts so I used pecans and forgot to pick up fennel seed at the store so I added extra mint. Turned out great but I'll try it by the book next time. Made it with thighs because, like you, chicken breast is just tasteless in comparison. Me and the hubby thought these were the best brussel sprouts we've ever had! Simple but yummy... Hi!

I do like the idea of using it with meat - sounds like a fun variation.

Twice. I hate brussel sprouts, but they looked so pretty at the farmers' market... and then I found this recipe. I am a brussel sprout convert. Thanks! :) I made the brussel sprouts twice this week.

I e-mailed you this morning concerning two of your Donna Hay-inspired recipes. (Isn't she great? Have loads of her books...anyway). My friend has a wine site called InterWined.com; he recently asked me to help with a new feature called 'Blow the Bank', where every Friday InterWined pairs one great dish with one great wine. I really like you site and your recipes and think that this dish would be a perfect choice. For an example of 'Blow the Bank', check out InterWined.com's pairing of a dish courtesy of Rubber Slippers in Italy. Anyway, I hope you get the e-mail and look forward to hearing from you.

It's a staple in Australia, and surfaced around the time that "turkish bread" became popular here (rectangular light sourdough-style bread with very large air pockets; used in most cafes for sandwiches, paninis, and as an alternative to focaccia). We like to serve it in a small dipping bowl with olive oil on the side whenever bread is served. Dip the bread first in the olive oil, then into the dukkah and pop into le mouth. Yum! Note - I've had nightmare experiences trying to remove the skin from the hazelnuts; I would recommend buying them already skinned. Glad you’re all getting into the dukkah.
