From the horn of Africa comes the delightful seasoning blend known as Berbere which is considered the culinary foundation of the Ethiopian cuisine. Also called Berbere Spice, Berber Spice and Ethiopian Berbere.
As with many seasoning spice blends from around the world there are as many variations as there are regions, villages and families. This blend is often called the cupboard mix as it seems to have a little bit of everything tossed in – but the prominent spices in Berbere are always centered around the heat of pepper – cayenne, paprika, chili flakes and black pepper (in some variation). Berbere does pack some spiciness from the chile peppers but it is most flavorful than crazy hot.
Hand blended from cumin, cardamom, allspice, fenugreek, coriander, cloves, black pepper, chili pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, ginger root, turmeric, salt, paprika and cinnamon.
As you can see below we've had excellent comments about our blend and we are
sure that you will be pleased as well.
Some of the popular recipes with Berbere include Beef Stew in Spicy Berbere Sauce, Spicy Berbere Lentil Stew, African Chicken in Berbere Sauce.
