Ingredients

The special spices come all together - and you would think more is better - but alas - for 8 cups of liquid, you need about a teaspoon - thats all, its like kahatar - in that its a blend - this one is called….Hawaij - and can be used as a meat rub - and is quote popular say in Israel…it is a curry like mixture:

6 tablespoons black peppercorns

1/4 cup cumin seeds

2 tablespoons coriander seeds

1 tablespoon green cardamom pods

1 teaspoon whole cloves

3 tablespoons ground turmeric

*********************

Hawaij is essential to the cuisine of Yemen and is also very popular in Israel, due to the large Yemenite community there. The curry like mixture is used liberally as a rub for grilled meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables like eggplant, and may also be sprinkled into soups, stews, sauces, and rice.

Directions

Place everything but the turmeric in a dry skillet over medium heat - stirring often not allowing anything to burn

heat up spices for at least five minutes.

Then let cool and add turmeric.

Then blend in your blender or better yet, your coffee grinder you use ONLY for spices….- yields 1+ cups.

Speaking of coffee grinders, a friend of mine prior to her getting married shared with me that their coffee grinder was on the way out. I suggested I would offer to get the happy couple a new one as part of my wedding present - and since they are major cooks, I ended up buying them two - one for solely using it as a spice grinder. Making your own spice mixes and mustards for example its super easy and amazing.
