Sweet Dukkah Varieties
The two sweet varieties contain more hazelnuts than sesame seeds, while the savory varieties feature more sesame seeds than hazelnuts.
Coconut Dukkah
The unsweetened coconut and evaporated cane juice are joined by an intensified nuttiness, from the rise in the hazelnut-to-sesame-seed ratio. The subtle sweetness makes Coconut Oregon Dukkah very versatile: It can be equally tasty on a fish fillet, in a salad or simply sprinkled on yogurt for breakfast. The coconut flavor permeates every pinch, but delicately, so that it doesn’t overpower the hazelnuts.
Sweet Dukkah
The spices are more prevalent here than in the Coconut Dukkah. As with the Coconut, Sweet Dukkah contains more nuts than seeds, with hazelnuts making up the bulk of the mix. Here, the strong backdrop of hazelnuts is wrapped in cinnamon-like spices; we enjoyed it simply with walnut bread and melted butter. The butter and sweet spices would combine flawlessly in a cooked dish, such as sprinkled on a crêpe or omelet.
