Wish I had hazelnuts on hand to make this. They grow here in abundance. I toasted<br/>the almonds in the same pan as the spices. This was delicious sprinkled on homemade French bread with a spoonful of crumbled Turkish feta, drizzle of olive oil and garnish of fresh basil. Now I have to find other recipes for using this mixture. Thanks for posting the recipe. Made for WELCOME TO EGYPT!Reply
