Berbere Spice Mix

Postby Paulr » Wed Aug 15, 2007 5:53 am

1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
2 tsp black peppercorns
8 cloves

10 small dried chilies
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1.5 tbsp sea salt (Maldon preferred)

Image

Toast the first 5 ingredients in a frying pan over medium heat until they start to "brown" and give off a rich aroma.

Image

Grind to a powder using mortar and pestle

Image

Chop the dried chilies and add to the mortar and pestle and pound into mixture.

Add mixture to bowl and add remaining ingredients.
Image

This goes very nice (and makes enough for) 2 chooks

Wonderful pics!! Is it real spicy or does the toasting of things kind of cut down on that?
Looks great!

Very interesting Paulr, not the seasoning mix one might typically find in Texas. I'll have to try it.

That is 100% correct it is basically an ethiopian rub!

I like taking the pictures (and they double up on my site anyway)..
Like the fact that a lot of forum participants take photo's makes it more "real"..
Happy to introduce some other rubs, have to admit that due to my cookbooks I mainly use "american" style rubs... and what I can find on the forums....
