Recipe: Everything Seed Mixture (using caraway seeds)

EVERYTHING SEED MIXTURE

"There are so many "everything" puns to be made here, but I will spare you. While perfect on a just-opened avocado, this Everything seed Mixture can be used to doctor store-bought pita or lavash (brush with oil, scatter over, and bake till crispy), sprinkled over whipped ricotta for dipping, or serve dusted on top of roasted vegetables. I like to toss these seeds into salads for a salty crunch and pops of flavor from the caraway, and to top baked potatoes with sour cream. Point is, keep it on hand and you'll find a way to use it ... on everything (get it?)."



3 tablespoons while sesame seeds
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 tablespoons granulated or dehydrated onion (optional)
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt

Place the white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, caraway seeds, and poppy seeds in a small skillet. Toast them over medium heat until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the caraway is fragrant, about 3 minutes (don't walk away here; sesame seeds burn super quickly, especially around the edges of the skillet). Remove from the heat and add the onion (if using) and salt.

Let cool completely before storing in jars.

TO DO AHEAD:
This can be made 1 month ahead and stored at room temperature.

Makes about 1/2 cup
