Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 2 minutes

Ingredients

2 t cumin seeds
2 ½ T smoked paprika
¾ t cardamom seeds
½ t black peppercorns
1 t fenugreek
¼ t ground allspice
2 t cayenne pepper
1 t ground ginger
½ t ground nutmeg
¼ t ground cloves

4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 red chillies
4 T vegetable oil

Method

Roast the spices in a dry pan until fragrant and toasted. Grind to a powder using a mortar and pestle.

Blend the onion, garlic, chilli and oil in a food processor. Add the ground spices and just enough water to make a paste. Store in an airtight container in the refrigertaor for up to 2 weeks.

Cook's tip: you can simply use the dried spices as a berbere flavouring, adding the wet and liquid ingredients when you want to use a paste.

TASTE's take: Berbere is a traditional Ethiopian spice mix used in a variety of dishes. Use it to spice up your next chicken dish.
