Berbere is the queen of Ethiopian spice blends. There is hardly a dish that doesn't rely on its fiery notes. The blend is built around the berbere chilli. Combined with various other herbs and spices, this chilli gives a lovely depth of flavour. Every household has its own recipe so every berbere is different. Our blend uses Amaarech's original recipe.
Berbere is used to make miser wot, squash wot, tofu tibs, awaze, and many other dishes. Berbere is at home in Ethiopian dishes but loves to be taken out of its comfort zone. Add it to sauces, soups, marinades, and roasts. Why not mix it with a little red wine, mustard, and honey to create a scrumptious dip? This versatile blend will not disappoint!

Ingredients: Ethiopian red pepper, ajowan, nigella seeds, coriander, fenugreek, clove, cassia seeds, garlic, ginger, and onion
10/10. This is the real thing. Don't waste your money on anything else.
I'm very picky about my berbere but this blend is the one. It's clear this is small-batch and made with care. You can't get this quality anywhere else online. I'm a repeat customer.
I'm new to Ethiopian cooking and was a bit intimidated by berbere. This blend is amazing. It's so aromatic and has a beautiful warmth that isn't just "hot." I made the roasted pumpkin recipe from the blog and it was a huge hit!
Since my trip to Ethiopia, i've been trying to make Ethiopian-style qey wot, like the one I had there, and it was always... flat. This is what was missing. The flavour is so deep and exactly how I remember it. I love this blend, couldn't recommend it enough!
I've only ever had berbere from a grocery store jar, and this is on a completely different planet. It's not just "hot," it's smoky, complex, and incredibly aromatic. Made the roasted pumpkin recipe from the blog and my mind is blown.
