Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, feta and dukkah
Ingredients
4 eggs
4-8 swiss brown or butter mushrooms
50 g feta
1 handful continental parsley
1 tablespoon Dukkah
2 tsp coconut oil
Method
1. Slice the mushrooms and fry on a medium heat in the coconut oil until golden.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and gently break the yolks mixing them into the whites, without whisking too much air into them. This makes for mu.ch creamier scrambles.
3. Crumble the feta into the eggs and add the roughly chopped parsley too.
4. Turn the fry pan up to high and pour in the egg mix. Gently fold the mixture around the pan until nearly cooked. Remember the eggs will continue to cook once you turn off the heat. So removing them a little bit before you think they are done makes for perfectly cooked scrambles.
5. Serve on a plate or a piece of toast (sourdough, rye or gluten-free) and sprinkle with the dukkah
Make your own Dukkah
Ingredients
1 cup nuts – I used Brazil, hazel nuts and almonds
1/3 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tsp black pepper corns
2 tsp flaked sea salt
Method
- Slowly dry roast the nuts in the oven at 160 deg for about 20 mins until they are deliciously golden and fragrant.
- Dry roast the spices in a fry pan on a medium heat stirring continuously for 5 mins until fragrant. Grind to a powder in a mortar and pestle of food processor.
- Dry roast the sesame seeds in the same fry pan stirring continuously until golden.
- Add the nuts to the food processor with the spices and pulse until they are roughly chopped. Its nice to leave a few decent sized pieces of nut to add texture to the Dukkah.
- Stir together with the toasted sesame seeds and store in an airtight jar to add to all you favorite dishes. Sprinkle on eggs for breakfast, salads for lunch and use to spice up your evening meals on roasted vegies or meat.
