Berbere
From Ethiopa and Eretria comes this intriguing spice blend, featuring a range of exotic spices. The combination of heat from ginger and chiles alongside the unusual flavors of ajwain and fenugreek with an aromatic chorus of cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg make this unusual mix a power-house of flavor.
Traditionally used to season the various lentil stews called "wats", it can also be used as a rub on chicken and lamb. Berbere has a wonderful flavor affinity with tomato, so try it in your favorite recipes for tomato based soups or chili.Learn how to make the blend and use it in a range of recipes with World Spice at Home.
