I got this from Madhur Jaffrey’s “World Vegetarian” and fixed it up to our family’s taste. There’s a store in Montclair, NJ, called “Spice It Up” (973-744-3344) that has a Berber Spice that we adore more than any of the Berber Spice recipes I’ve found online. They’re very nice about shipping, and if you call them, order some of their Paradise Fig while you’re at it. We can hardly imagine eating salmon anymore without Paradise Fig seasoning. Anyway. . . <\/p>\n
