Ärende: HELP! Please - w/2 Recipe
=================================
Contains two recipes ...

In several of the David Pileggi recipes I just posted there is a call for
"avish" which is supposedly not available in America.

Well, I took that as a challenge - so, I went Googling. And got, basically,
bupkes. I found a bunch of Indian spice merchants with "Avish" in their
business names. But, no Ethiopian/Sephardic/African spices by that name so that
I could find a substitute/close copy.

Google asked if I meant "abish" so I took that path also. Closest it came was
an Ethiopian spice company which defines "ABISH" as powdered fenugreek ...
which I can get here, or make in my R2D2 grinder.

I also found this nice recipe from Uncle Phaedrus ...

And this one from an Ethiopian site which mentioned (but did not define) avish.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Berbere

    1/2 c  Ground red pepper (cayenne)

  Preheat oven to 300øF/150øC.

  In a cake pan, mix the spices well (be careful not to

  Roast for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent
  scorching.
  
  Watch carefully, and stir the spices more often during the
  last 10 minutes.
  
  Cool and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator
  or freezer.
