Ethiopian Berbere Spice Blend from The Silk Road Restaurant Market 2oz No Salt All Natural East African Seasoning Vegan Gluten Free Ingredients NON GMO No Preservatives

Berbere embodies some of our favorite flavor combinations. Background: We truly enjoy the Ethiopian collective dining experience ... everyone sits around low tables and eats from the same plate. Usually prepared from a cupboard-full of herbs and spices, our Berbere is roasted before is is fresh-ground. The combination of fenugreek and red pepper is essential to Berbere; while one or two of the other ingredients may be left out, the fenugreek and red pepper are must-haves. Regional Cuisine Pheasant would be an ideal partner, to make a version of doro wat, a chicken stew considered the national dish of Ethiopia; remember African chickens tend to be old and tough - closer to pheasant than American chicken. Or, you could use venison to make a dish of segi wat, which is typically prepared with lamb. Add water or oil to form a paste to flavor stir-fries, soups and casseroles or use it as a base for curry.
