DUKKHA

WHAT'S IN IT

The word "Dukkha" comes from the Arabic word ‘to grind,’ referring to how this blend was originally made. There are spices, usually hyssop (wild thyme), cumin, sesame seeds, and salt as well as proteins such as hazelnuts, wheatberries, and chickpeas.

WHAT IT'S USED FOR
Dukkah, or "Dugga" to Gazans, can be enjoyed with olive oil and warm pita bread (khbouz). Mothers in Palestine would make quick sandwiches using oil and dukkha to quell a rumbly tummy or two in between meals. I love it on homemade labneh (replacing cream cheese) on a sesame bagel. It's also a great rub for lamb, chicken, and fish. It is a great way to flavor crackers, croutons and homemade bread. It can be sprinkled on everything from roasted vegetables, pasta, feta cheese, and even fresh fruit.

Other ideas:
- on yogurt
- on pita bread with olive oil and toasted
- on poached eggs
- in salads
- as a crust for chicken or fish
- in soup
- on hummus
- in salad dressings

Nut allergen: hazelnuts, wheat, sesame seeds.

ALEPPO PEPPER

The authentic Aleppo Pepper hails from Syria. The chili got its name from Aleppo, a city along the Silk Road in Northern Syria. It comes from a burgundy chili called the Halaby pepper. Ripened peppers are semi-dried, de-seeded, and coarsely ground. Quality Aleppo pepper is flaky, semi-oily, and has a deep red, or burgundy, color. It should smell bright and fruity.

Please note: Aleppo Pepper is preserved using salt and sunflower oil. Like salt, Aleppo pepper is a flavor enhancer. It marries slow-building heat with earthy, cumin notes and fruity tang. The pepper has a moderate heat level and can substitute for chili pepper flakes. It is a common Middle Eastern condiment, traditionally used to season meat, beans, salads, and muhammara dip, but it can be used like any other dried red pepper. It’s great on pizza or pide (Turkish-style pizza), eggs, or any dish you want to “kick up” a bit with a little heat.
