Imagine being able to use the same seasoning to garnish your soup, sprinkle atop salads or vegetables, bread chicken and fish or shake over ice cream. Well, look no further than this week’s Gourmet Giveaway prize: Oregon Dukkah.

Dukkah is a versatile Egyptian dry seasoning mixture of chopped nuts or chickpeas, plus a variety of flavorful seeds, spices and herbs. It can turn a simple dish—like a side of vegetables—into something dazzling.

But, serve it with a bottle of wine and instruct guests to “dip like an Egyptian”: Serve dukkah the classic way, in a bowl with a bowl of olive oil and sliced bread. (Dip the bread in the olive oil, then in the dukkah. Yum!)

The Prize: All 5 Flavors Of Oregon Dukkah

One winner will receive one of each flavor of Oregon Dukkah: Coconut, Smoky Hot, Sweet, Traditional and Zesty. The whole line contains hazelnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, and some variation of spices, so you can use this Egyptian favorite on anything from appetizers to desserts. Be the first on your block to “dip like an Egyptian.” Approximate Retail Value: $27.50.
