Dukkah (also known as Egyptian dukkah) is a traditional mixture of nuts, seeds and spices and is often used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Make my homemade version in a few easy steps. Serve as a delicious accompaniment for roasted vegetables, chicken or meat or sprinkled over a salad.

Kyk net al die K’s: komyn, ’n tikkie kaneel, koljanderblare, kruisement en koeskoes – wat ’n wonderlike kombinasie. Die Marokkaanse geure is perfek saam met die andersins neutrale smaak van koeskoes en dis so ’n maklike bygereg om te maak. Dit kan net so met geroosterde vis, hoender of vleis voorgesit word en koeskoes kan ook ’n souserige gereg heerlik absorbeer.
In dié resep word ui en botterskorsie met my gunsteling-spesery, komyn, in die oond gerooster en dan met geroosterde amandels en vars kruie gebruik om die koeskoes te geur. Kruisement- en koljanderblare is perfekte pasmaats vir die speserye en ander bestanddele. Die verskillende bestanddele gee die bygereg ook ’n interessante tekstuur. Hierdie weergawe kan maklik vooraf berei word, maar voeg die kruie en amandels by net voor dit voorgesit word.

I love Pink Lady® Apples and although they are not back in season yet, I am keeping this recipe on hand for the moment they are on shelf in May. And seeing that South Africans love to bake, I just have to share this delicious cake so long.
The moist cake with its soft texture is really special and similar to a typical Ukranian apple cake. Ian Sklarsky shared this family recipe with the Pink Lady® team and they were so excited about it, that they shared it with us at a lovely launch event a few years ago. The natural sweetness of the apples and the ability to hold their structure, even when baked, is just what you need for this cake.

Treat family or friends to a lovely chocolate and nut cake. No one will expect the touch of cinnamon, and how well it combines with the buttery cake, chocolate pieces and nuts, until that first mouthful.
The recipe uses a lot of eggs in the batter, which gives the cake its richness, texture and flavour, and is a better option than too much butter and sugar. The cake also keeps well and doesn’t dry out easily.
