Lebanese 7 Spice mix

There's no guarantee that this is the secret spice mix that Wafaa Powell uses for her Lebanese food @ Vaughan's Cookery School but it is a blend we have tried, as a result of meeting her and enjoying her dishes. You can vary the combinations of spices to suit your palate.

I like ground cardomom instead of allspice and more coriander as a change. It really does cheer up' all sorts of meat, poultry, vegetable and legume dishes.  It is tasty but not too hot.  Try it:

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground allspice

1 tablespoonground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

  1. Put in screw top jar and shake well to mix all the spices.
  2. Add to your recipes in place of pepper
  3. Come to one of our lebanese classes and get some new ideas on tasty dishes!
