Berbere

(Bärbäre, Bärbärä, በርበሬ, በርበረ)

Berbere is an Ethiopian spice blend full of flavor and heat, made with a combination of spices such as chili, garlic, cumin, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, nigella, fenugreek, and ajwain. This spice blend can be used in its dry, powdery form, or as a paste, where the powder is combined with oil.


It is traditionally used in numerous meat dishes and stews, providing them with spiciness and depth of flavor.
