Yesterday I decided to make something delicious, and I narrowed my options to Swedish cardamom bread and cinnamon rolls. But neither seemed quite right. Then I had a flash of inspiration! Chocolate and cardamom!

So I made yet another variation on the amazing olive oil brownies.

I merely ground up some cardamom seeds and layered the spice in between two thick pours of batter. Big salt crystals went on top. They’re awesome.

Salty, cardamom-y things are very Seattley to me, too.
Also, happy 2012! Here’s to another year of great food.
