Tabbouleh

  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds from green pods (or a mix of black and green)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1-3 dried red chilies, more to taste (or substitute 1 teaspoon chili flakes)
  • 2-inch piece cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 teaspoon chunk or piece of whole nutmeg (roughly)

Directions:

  1. In a dry skillet, lightly toast all ingredients over medium heat, until crackling and fragrant.
  2. Stir often, be careful not to scorch; cool.
  3. Grind in a spice grinder or blender until ground into a coarse-fine powder.
  4. Store in a sealable jar for up to six months.

Makes about 1/3 cup.

Tip: A coffee grinder is a handy kitchen tool that can also be used to grind whole spices.
