Get ready for a flavorful adventure with Homemade Berbere! Learn to make this complex spice blend for your next culinary masterpiece.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the whole spices (black pepper, cardamom, clove, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek) until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Transfer the toasted spices to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind until they form a fine powder.
In a small bowl, mix the ground spices with the remaining ingredients (cayenne powder, cinnamon, garlic powder, ginger, paprika, and turmeric).
Store the Berbere spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Absolutely, you can make Berbere ahead of time. In fact, it is best to make the spice blend in advance to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer the spice blend sits, the more flavorful it will be.
