Hawayij (Spice Blend)
This spice blend keeps for a long time in a well-sealed container. Ingredients 2 Tablespoons black peppercorns 1 Tablespoon caraway seed ½ teaspoon cardamom seed 1 teaspoon saffron threads 1 teaspoon turmeric Note: Ground spices may be substituted for the spices listed. Procedure Combine the peppercorns, caraway seeds, and cardamom seeds in a dry skillet and toast over high heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Put the toasted seeds in a mortar or spice mill and pound or grind them to a powder. Alternatively, wrap in a clean dish towel, place the package on a hard surface (such as the garage floor or sidewalk) and pound with a hammer. All the spices should be pounded to a powder form. Add the saffron threads and pound or grind again. Transfer the spices to a mixing bowl. Add the turmeric and mix well. Store in a glass or plastic container with a lid. (An empty spice jar works well.) |
