Shauna James Ahern'S Berbere Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons fenugreek seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 cardamom pods
- 4 dried chiles de arbol, stemmed and seeded
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Set a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fenugreek, coriander, peppercorns, and cardamom pods. Toast the spices, moving the skillet around the burner constantly, until the smells are released, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Let the toasted spices cool. Add them to a clean spice grinder, along with the chiles, and grind fine.
- Pour the ground spices into a bowl. Stir in the smoked paprika, paprika, dried basil, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. This will keep in an airtight container for 3 months. You're going to be using it often, however.
