Baharat

This is a spice commonly used in the Middle East.

2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Put all into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake.

This makes about 1/2 cup and will keep for about 1 year.
