We are drying our cayenne peppers - they are coming out of our ears! This recipe caught my eye from www.fiery- .
Ingredients:
3 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
nutmeg, allspice, turmeric, and cloves
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons purple onions, chopped
2 tablespoons dry red wine
3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil, peanut preferred
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3 tablespoons purple onions, minced
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg, beaten
Directions:
1. To make the paste, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, in a blender or food processor and with the motor running, slowly add just enough of the oil to form a paste. This will likely make enough paste for a triple batch - store extra in the fridge or freeze.
2. Combine all the ingredients for the kifto in a bowl and mix well. Add the berbere paste several tablespoons at a time (taste by frying a dab of it) & mix into meat mixture. Use berbere paste to your palate. Form into small balls, slightly elongated, and place on skewers.
3. Grill over a medium hot fire for about 8 minutes until cooked through. Cut open a sample to check for doneness.
