½ cup flax seeds
½ cup warm water
2 tsp. honey
Salt and pepper
¼ tsp. Berbere spice mix

Roast the flax seeds in a dry pan over medium- low heat until they start to release their aromas, and turn light brown.
Turn them out into a bowl to allow them to cool.
Once they are cool, grind up the flax seeds in a spice grinder or blender until they are completely pulverized.
Transfer them to a bowl, and then pour in the water, whisking to smoothen the mixture. It will resemble a peanut butter spread.
Season with salt and pepper and some of the berbere to taste.
You can also add a touch of flax seed oil if you fancy.
Makes about 3/4 cup, which you can use as a spread for breads in the morning.
