Georgian Baharat

== Description ==
Georgian mixed spices
== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup whole black peppercorns
* ¼ cup whole coriander seeds
* ¼ cup cassia or cinnamon bark
* ¼ cup whole cloves
* ⅓ cup cumin seeds
* 2 teaspoons whole cardamom seeds
* 4 whole nutmegs
* ½ cup ground paprika
== Directions ==
# Basically, just place all the spices except the paprika and nutmeg in a blender or adequate grinder and process until it becomes a powder. If necessary you can grind ½ cup at a time.
# Grate the nutmeg and blend this with the paprika into the spices.
# Store in an airtight jar.
# Generally in some areas, they lightly toast the spices in an oven to bring out more flavor.
# You can gain this also by putting the amount you're going to use, on a hot dry frypan and toast it for a few seconds before using.
# This not only makes the kitchen smell good, but brings out a richer flavor of any spice.
# You can also use ground spices, but using them whole is the authentic way.
# Four nutmegs come to about ¼ cup ground.
# Be careful how much nutmeg you use; it's toxic in large doses.
