An Egyptian-inspired crunchy spice blend made with toasted pecans, sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. Sprinkle it on hummus, salads, eggs, or dip bread in olive oil and dukkah.
Toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate to cool.
In the same skillet, toast the sesame seeds for 2 minutes until golden. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and peppercorns and toast for 1 more minute until aromatic. Transfer to the plate with the pecans.
Once completely cool, add everything to a food processor along with the sea salt and dried thyme. Pulse 8 to 10 times until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture. Do not over-process — you want texture, not a paste.
Store in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Sprinkle on hummus, avocado toast, roasted vegetables, eggs, or use as a crust for fish or chicken.
