Homemade Nutty Dukkah + what to do with it…
I know what you are thinking – Dukkah isn’t kids food! Well I thought the same things, so when H and I decided to make this homemade nutty dukkah the other morning. I wasn’t expecting H to like it. He has never been a huge fan of cumin so I thought there is no way…. But, I turned…
