Berbere
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Coriander seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Fenugreek seeds
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 2 Whole allspice berries
- 4 Seeds of green cardamom pods
- 4 Cloves
- 5 Dried red chilies, seeded, broken into small pieces
- 3 tbsp Sweet paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Turmeric
Instructions
Directions:
- In a heavy skillet over medium low heat, toast the whole spices (seeds) and chilies, stirring frequently so the spices don't burn, until fragrant. This should take about 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Grind the cooled spices in a spice or coffee grinder. Add the remaining ground spices and salt and grind everything together. Store in an airtight container in a dark place. Note: Leave the seeds in the chilis if you want it extra spicy!
