Pistachio Dukkah Egyptian Spice Mix
Dukkah is an aromatic spice blend originating out of Egypt. Walking the streets of Cairo you can find street vendors selling Dukkah out of paper cones along with olive oil and strips of pita bread to dip as a snack.

Homemade Spiced Garlic Croutons
These spiced garlic croutons are but one flavour profile for a fan favourite homemade soup or salad topper, and they’re our go-to. The bread can be fresh, day-old, or dried ends you keep in the freezer. If using fresh, you’ll get golden crispy edges with a slightly soft centre.

- 2 tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
