Berbere Seasoning

Berbere seasoning is a bold, spicy, and aromatic spice blend that is a staple in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. It consists of a mix of chili peppers, ginger, coriander, fenugreek, and a variety of warming spices like cumin, cinnamon, and allspice. The blend is known for its fiery heat and deep, layered flavors, combining both smoky and slightly sweet notes. Berbere is used to season a variety of dishes, from stews like the famous Doro Wat (spiced chicken stew) to lentils, vegetables, and grilled meats. Its vibrant, complex taste makes it a key element in adding depth and heat to traditional East African cooking.
