Berbere Spice Mix

All ingredients here are in ground form – if using any whole spices, pan-roast them first, then grind in a coffee grinder.

  • 4 T paprika
  • 1 T cayenne pepper (this is crazy spicy, which my partner & I like, but feel free to adjust this amount to your taste, or leave it out altogether for a kid-friendly version)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (way less than the traditional amount)
  • 1/2 tsp each of
    • fenugreek
    • ginger
    • onion
    • coriander
    • cardamom
    • garlic
  • 1/8 tsp each of
    • cloves
    • cinnamon

Mix all the spices together and save in a glass jar.
