This vibrant vegan dish of radishes with dukkah is a sophisticated yet simple way to start a meal or enjoy a healthy afternoon snack. The recipe focuses on the contrasting textures of crunchy, peppery breakfast radishes and a nutty, aromatic Egyptian-inspired spice blend. By toasting the pistachios, pine nuts and whole seeds yourself, you unlock a deep savoury flavour that shop-bought versions rarely match.
