Method
step 1
For the dukkah, heat oven to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Roast the hazelnuts and sesame seeds separately until golden. Meanwhile, toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a dry pan until fragrant – about 1 min. Cool everything.
step 2
Transfer the nuts, spices and remaining dukkah ingredients to a food processor, coffee grinder or pestle and mortar. Blend to a coarse mix. This will store in an airtight jar for up to a month.
step 3
Slice the watermelon into small, thin wedges. Trim the rind from the base of each wedge so that they can stand up, brush the tops with a little olive oil and dip into the dukkah to serve.
