Hawayej

== Description ==
Meat and Fish Rub devised by Zvia, an Afghan street vendor in New York
== Ingredients ==
* 3 tbsp black peppercorns
* 3 tbsp cumin seed
* 2 tbsp turmeric
* 1 tbsp ground cardamom
* 1 tbsp ground coriander
== Directions ==
# Grind all the ingredients together with a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder.
# Store in an airtight container.
# Rub this spice blend all over beef, pork, or chicken 2 hours prior to grilling.
# It also adds a pungent flavor to tuna, swordfish, bluefish, and bass; rub it on both sides of the steak or fillets about an hour before grilling.
# In both cases, the rub can be left on the meat or fish while grilling to make a blackened seasoned crust.
# It can also be stirred into boiled rice or summer soups to taste.
# Makes about ⅓ cup.
