Berbere Spice Mix

Berbere is a blend of spices used in Ethiopian cooking. If you don’t have whole spices, you can use ground ones.

Ingredients

• 1 whole cardamom pod
• 1 whole clove
• 2 whole allspice
• ⅛ tsp whole fenugreek seeds
• ⅛ tsp ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp ground turmeric

Instructions

Remove the seeds from the cardamom pod. Toast the cardamom, clove, allspice and fenugreek seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until the spices become fragrant. Remove from the heat, let cool and grind in a mortar and pestle until fine. Stir in the ginger, nutmeg, and turmeric.
