So easy you'll want to make these every day!

French Onion Soup is traditionally served in individual oven safe serving bowls, which I do not have. A bread bowl was the next obvious choice. Unfortunately, Trader Joe’s does not currently have any bread with soup bowl potential. So as the old proverb goes “necessity is the mother of invention” or something like that.

It’s unclear to me when Dukkah Nut & Spice Blend first hit the shelves at Trader Joe’s. I discovered it a couple of years ago. Word on the street though, is that it was introduced, then discontinued, only to make a major comeback. Dukkah has different spellings and different ingredients depending on where you buy it. Trader Joe’s Blend includes almonds, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, coriander, anise seeds, and kosher salt. It has a noticeable black licorice-like taste that comes from the anise. I enjoy eating Dukkah by the spoonful but if you haven’t tried it and still aren’t quite sure, Manakish is an easy way to break into your first jar.
