roasted whole carrots

pistachio dukkah

  1. Toast pistachios in a small saute pan over medium low heat until fragrant but still green, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, roughly chop, then place in a small mixing bowl. 
  2. In the same skillet, toast sesame, fennel, coriander, cumin and caraway seeds until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes, stirring often. Transfer the spices to a spice grinder, or mortar and pestle, and chop until coarsely ground. Pour the spices and salt into the bowl with pistachios and mix well.
