A fiery spice mixture originating from the Arabian/African areas around Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia.

It is used as a rub for meats, seasoning for meat and lentil stews or just as a condiment. As with all spice mixes, this is just one variant of many.

Chef's notes

If you cannot obtain ajowan, use caraway seeds or dried thyme instead.

I have seen versions of this recipe that use long pepper, which can be difficult to obtain in Europe. Use normal black pepper instead.
