Ingredients

Units


Instructions

In a food processor pulse nuts and sesame seeds until they resemble a coarse meal.  Keep everything under the size of a pea.  (Take care not to over pulse as this will turn nuts into nut butter).

Add this mixture to a dry sauté pan and place over medium-low heat.  Give a stir every 30 seconds or so for about 3-4 minutes.  Lower heat to low and add the coriander, cumin, fennel, pepper and salt to the ground nut mixture in the pan.  Stir for another 3-4 minutes until slightly fragrant.


Notes

For an authentic Egytian version, use hazelnuts intead of pecans.

Feel free to use whole spices and grind them yourself: 1 teaspoon ground = 2 teaspoons whole.

Store in an air tight jar for up to 3 months.
