I love berbere spice, a classic Ethiopian spice blend, but it never occurred to me to make my own. Actually, traditional berbere spice would use whole spice seeds/pods that get toasted and ground, but I usually toast the spices during the cooking process. Berbere is one of the most delicious and versatile spice mixes ever.
