Berbere Spice Mix (Ethiopian)

Description: Here is another version of the distinctive Ethiopian spice mix that flavors many of their dishes. Use it to season grilled fish, poultry or meat during cooking, or sprinkle it on meat or vegetable dishes at the table. I found this recipe in Homemakers magazine.

• 3/8 teaspoon ground fenugreek
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

1. Combine and whisk together all ingredients.
2. Store in airtight container.
