A traditional Ethiopian/Eritrean dish. Extremely hot, so don't try it if you're not used to such food. If you're a chilli or curry freak, though, you'll love it!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Berbere pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    For the berbere, combine the spices and roast in a dry skillet on low to moderate heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-10 minutes, or until roasted.
  2. 2
    Keep in a tight jar.
  3. 3
    For the stew, fry the meat on high heat until brown, then add the onion, and eventually the garlic and 3 tbsp Berbere, which are NOT to become burnt.
  4. 4
    Add the tomatoes with their liquid and boil slowly until the meat is tender and the stew has thickened (30-60 minutes).
  5. 5
    Garnish with coriander and serve hot on Injera (Ethiopian flat bread).

YUM! My mom always made this dish at home (Yemen) and so was overjoyed to find the ingredients for the berbere pepper. We always had this dish with chicken and with some boiled eggs thrown in and so I made this with one whole chicken and 3 boiled eggs added in at the end. Lovely!

    First time making anything Ethiopian. Also first time with fenugreek & cardamom. Both dh & I liked this. I admit, I was timid & only used 2 tablespoons cayenne. Should have used more. So a few days later, I added more cayenne to the rest of the berbere pepper mix and put it on some chicken I was grilling. We both liked it a lot. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm going to keep the berbere on-hand.

    Delicious! By mistake had to use ground beef instead but it worked. I'll definitely use this again. Thanks!

    Hrm, the spicyness was a little high for everyone and I reduced it to only 3 tsp too. SInce I love spicy food, I thought it was great and I will make it again sometime. I couldn't find any fenugreek and I ran out of cloves, but it still came out pretty good I thought. Thanks!
