The delicious flatbread has been a part of Egyptian cuisine since the time of the Pharoahs. So it's certainly a traditional dish. Seasoned with luxurious Dukka made with sesame seeds, it's great for dipping in creamy herby houmous. This simple north African-inspired recipe makes a scrummy starter, canape or side dish.

Takes 20 minutes to make

Ingredients

  • 2 large flatbreads
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh mint, plus a couple of leaves to garnish the dip

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 300g tub houmous
  • For the dukka
  • 25g coriander seeds, toasted
  • 25g cumin seeds, toasted

Method: How to make dukka flatbreads with houmous

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/ gas 4. Make the dukka. Put the seeds and nuts into a food processor and blitz for 3-4 minutes, until the natural oils have been released and the mixture looks like a rough paste.

Tip

This makes more dukka – an Egyptian spice mix – than you’ll need, but it will keep in a sterilised jar for up to three months.

2. Lightly brush the flatbreads with the olive oil, then spread with some dukka. Cut each bread into 10 wedges and place on baking trays. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, mix the herbs, lemon juice and houmous. Season to taste, garnish with mint and serve with the dukka flatbreads.
