A key feature of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking, Berbere gives wats (stews) of meat, vegetables or lentils their signature flavour.
This classic East African blend is a fruity, fiery, powerhouse blend with strong flavours of chilli, cardamom and fenugreek. It is used in staples like doro wat (chicken stew) and misir wat (red lentil stew), and is typically eaten with injera, a fermented flatbread. Berbere's richness also complements red meat and oily fish.
