Spices

Use of different fresh herbs and dried ground or whole spices is in all cultures throughout the world.

I am going to share a few different names and constituents of these with you in next few blogs.

I make my morning tea using fresh ginger( grated),fresh mint,lemongrass clippings,and pinch of ground cardamom seeds.

I will share a Lebanese 7 spice seasoning that I got from Salma Hage.

To make about 13/4 cups,

5 Tbsf ground allspice

3 1/2 Tbsf pepper

3 1/2 tbsf ground cinnamon

5 Tbsf ground cloves

4 Tbsf grated nutmeg

4 Tbsf ground fenugreek

4 Tbsf ground ginger.

Usually,1/2 or1 tsf is enough as cloves,cinnamon are strong spices.

Use this in Tabbouleh,Falafel.
