I liked this recipe I found in Food for 50 for it's ease of prep & because it would allow me to bring a taste of Africa & Morocco to my Icelandic kitchen. It's also the 1st recipe I've seen that came w/a warning of sorts - Use sparingly to season soups, stews & meats. The flavor profile compliments Moroccan & African dishes, but remember spice flavors intensify when toasted. (Use for marinades, rubs & general seasoning)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground cumin
4 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground mace
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon black pepper (coarsely ground)
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons turmeric
Directions:
1. Combine spices. Spread in a thin, even layer in a dry skillet.
2. Cook over med heat for approx 1-2 min, till fragrant & just beginning to smoke. Shake pan throughout cooking to prevent burning.
3. Cool & store in airtight container for up to 2 wks.
