Pistachio Dukkah with Ciabatta

Great Easy Easy Starter

INGREDIENTS
Dukkah
1 cup pistachio nuts (shelled)

3 tbsps Olive Oil
I just love the KAILIS Organic Olive Oil.
And everyone who tries it - loves it too.
I use it in all my salad dressings,and it
goes particularly well for this starter.
It can be found at most delis, or

Ciabatta or Sour Dough Loaf, warmed

Method

Firstly toast the nuts in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Toast the spice seeds and sesame seeds separately in the same way.

Cool and combine with the remaining ingredients in a food processor.

Grind the mixture until it resembles small breadcrumbs.

The mixture should be very dry and crumbly, not a paste.

Be careful as over processing can release the oil from the nuts making the mixture moist, which you don't want.

To plate up:
Have 3 small dishes, fill them: salt flakes, olive oil, dukkah
Serve with some warmed ciabatta or sour dough finely sliced.
