  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method

--------  ------------  --------------------------------

  2        Tablespoons  cayenne powder -- or to taste

  4        Tablespoons  sweet paprika

  1           teaspoon  ground fenugreek

     3/4      teaspoon  ground cardamom

     1/2      teaspoon  ground coriander

     1/2      teaspoon  ground cumin

     1/2      teaspoon  nutmeg -- or mace

     1/2      teaspoon  ground ginger

     1/4      teaspoon  ground cinnamon

     1/4      teaspoon  ground allspice

     1/4      teaspoon  ground turmeric

     1/8      teaspoon  ground cloves

Whisk all spices together in nonstick skillet and toast over medium heat,

stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Once the spices are fragrant and smell toasty, turn off the heat and use a

mortar and pestle to grind into a fine powder.

Store spice blend in an airtight container.

Makes 3/4 cup (12 one-tablespoon servings)

Per serving (1 Tablespoon): 10 cals; 0.4g fat; 1.8g carbs; 1.1g fiber; 0g

sugars; 0.5g protein.

Chef's Note: If you like spicy and hot food, feel free to add more cayenne

powder to this blend or simply add more cayenne powder or hot sauce to the

dish.

Although not the same, in a pinch you can substitute cayenne powder for

Berbere.

AuthorNote: Berbere, a spice blend, is a key ingredient in Ethiopian

cooking. Although commercial blends exist, most of them are very hot and

use cayenne pepper as the main ingredient. To keep control over the heat

of the dish, I prefer blending a milder Berbere myself. With this spice

blend you can safely add 1 teaspoon to any recipe, but if you choose to

substitute a premade blend for convenience, be cautious when adding it.
