Berbere (Ethiopian Spice Blend)

: The Daring Gourmet, www.daringgourmet.com

Serves: Makes 6 tablespoons

Ingredients
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 whole allspice berries
Seeds of 4 green cardamom pods
4 cloves
5 dried red chilies, seeded, broken into small pieces (see Note)
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions
1. In a heavy skillet over high heat, toast the whole spices (seeds) and chilies, shaking the pan regularly to
prevent scorching, until very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
2. Grind the cooled spices in a spice or coffee grinder. Add all remaining ground spices and salt and grind
everything together.
3. Store in an airtight container in a dark place.

Notes
If you like extreme heat, leave a few of the seeds in. It will still be very spicy even without the seeds.
