DUKKAH
Traditional dukkah
Take two small dip bowls. Put a few tablespoons of dukkah into one and a few tablespoons of good quality, fresh extra virgin olive oil. In another larger bowl put some chunks of crusty bread.
Simply serve and dip your bread into the oil, then into the dukkah and pop into your mouth. This is very moreish and is great when served with pre-dinner drinks or at a picnic.
Dukkah encrusted chicken or fish
Take a chicken breast and cut into strips 2 inches wide. Lightly spray with olive oil. Take one tablespoon of your favourite dukkah and mix with two tablespoons of breadcrumbs in a small freezer/plastic bag. Drop the strips of chicken into the bag and give the bag a good shake. Now remove beautifully coated chicken, place on a lightly greased baking tray and cook for 12 mins either side at 180 degrees or alternatively cook on the hotplate of the barbie.
Dukkah and herb topping
Mix one part dukkah, one part freshly chopped herbs (parsley, coriander etc) and enough freshly squeezed lemon juice to make it stick together. Cook one side of your chicken, fish etc and turn over. Place dukkah topping on top and continue to cook until done. This is so delicious and so easy.
Liven up your meals!
Sprinkle dukkah onto your salad, soup, potatoes, cauliflower cheese, couscous or rice to give it a whole new angle.
THE RUB
The Rub is great when simply rubbed onto chicken, fish, beef, lamb or tofu and then cooked on the barbeque or pan fried. Its so easy everyone loves it!
As a Marinade
Try mixing a teaspoon of The Rub with some natural yoghurt and marinading cubes of chicken or fish etc before stir-frying again so easy but so tasty!
As a Curry blend
Saute chopped onions in oil, add a teaspoon of The Rub and fry for one minute, stirring all the time. Then add your meat, chicken, vegetables etc and either some coconut milk or chopped tomatoes whichever you prefer. Cook for desired time and season. Beautiful curry and it was so easy!
As a Stir-fry
When frying your vegetables or meat etc, throw in a spoonful of The Rub to liven things up a bit!
On your Roast
Simply rub your roast with oil or butter and sprinkle The Rub all over it. Cook as usual and spice up your Sunday!
