Instructions
1
Toasting Nuts and Seeds
5 MinutenToast hazelnuts and sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned and aromatic. Allow to cool completely.
2
Coarse Grinding
2 MinutenCoarsely crush the cooled hazelnuts in a mortar — the mixture should remain rustic and chunky, not ground to a fine powder.
3
Mixing and Filling
2 MinutenGently combine all ingredients in a bowl to preserve the texture, then transfer to an airtight screw-top jar.
Pro Tip
Keep the mixture coarse and do not grind too finely — the chunky nut and seed pieces create a wonderful crust when grilling.
