This is a common seasoning in Libya. I was surprised that there isn't a recipe for it on zaar (though it could have another name...I'm certainly no expert).. I must admit that I have never made this before - and that this particular recipe is a bit annoying as you have to grind everything in a spice/coffee grinder or I suppose a mortar and pestle if you're ambitious. I am posting a different version that uses pre-ground spices. Feel free to multiply this recipe to make any amount you wish. Ingredients:
2 cinnamon sticks, broken into 4 pieces each |
4 teaspoons cumin seeds |
4 teaspoons coriander seeds |
2 teaspoons dried chilies |
1 teaspoon allspice |
Directions:
1. Heat a nonstick frying pan to medium heat (do NOT add oil) and add your spices.
2. Stir constantly until the aroma intensifies. Depending on how hot your pan is this could take a few minutes - just don't let them burn.
3. Add to spice grinder/coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
4. Store in an airtight container.
