Instructions

1

Preparation

5 Minuten

Weigh all spices individually. If using whole spices, toast them now in a dry pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant, then let cool.

2

Grinding

4 Minuten

Grind toasted whole spices in a mortar or spice grinder until a fine powder forms.

3

Mixing

3 Minuten

Thoroughly combine all ground spices and salt in a bowl until a uniform, deep red to brown mixture forms.

4

Bottling

2 Minuten

Fill the finished berbere rub into an airtight jar, label clearly and store in a cool, dark place. Shelf life approximately 3-4 months for optimal flavor.

Pro Tip

Briefly dry-toast whole spices such as cardamom pods, coriander seeds and fenugreek beforehand, then grind fresh for maximum aroma development.
