Flavour Notes:

Berbere is a bold and earthy rich red Ethiopian stew named for the classic spice blend bearing its name. Sweet and pungent with a hum of peppery heat, Berbere can be made with meat, poultry or vegetables. Like anything drawing on intense spice profiles, cooking this low and slow will reward diners with a definitive Horn of Africa taste experience and mopping it and its juices with injera bread is a true culinary experience you can create at home.

Culinary Notes:

Vibrantly red in colour, Ethiopian Berbere is a staple blend of the cuisine, providing a backbone of flavour to many regional dishes with its delicate yet powerful combination of fenugreek, ginger and garlic, cinnamon and a piquant hit of chilli powder. The name ‘Berbere’ derives from the Ethiopian word Barbare meaning ‘hot’ which originally stems from the Ancient Ethiopian word for pepper ‘papare’. Use to make Ethiopia’s national dish ‘Wat’ (curry) or add a sprinkling to meat, vegetables or grains to add a fiery hit and warm red hue.
