Hints and tips

  • Chinese 5 spice powder is a combination of 5 spices, usually star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and fennel seeds. It is commonly used in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking.
  • This dukkah combines many of the delicious Australian ingredients that are becoming readily available in gourmet grocery stores.
  • To conserve energy, it is possible to cook toast the nuts without preheating the oven thanks to Miele’s quick heat up times.
