Nigella

Nigella, a tiny black seed that looks like sesame and is sometimes labeled black caraway, lends a distinctive flavor and aroma to baking and cheese dishes. It is one of many seasonings in our dukkah blend. The taste has hints of onion and herbs; in fact, it’s a bit like “everything” seasoning wrapped up in one tiny little package. At the store we use it to flavor twisted cheese, a Syrian specialty similar to mozzarella, and sprinkle it on vegetable hand pies.
