Mitmita is the most dangerous of Ethiopian spice blends. Watch out, an overdose can be fatal. That's why we're selling this one in small quantities only.
Mitmita is mainly used for dipping. You will often see this bright, terracotta-coloured powder sitting on the edge of a plate of injera (Ethiopian flatbread). It is for you to dunk your "gursha" in. Enjoy and feel yourself transported to warmer places! It's also delicious in fruit salads (think mango and pineapple with a sprig of mint) or on avocado toast _ one of our personal favourites. Its muscular flavour profile also works great in marinades and barbeques.
Ingredients: African bird's-eye chili pepper, Ethiopian cardamom, salt
I bought this on a whim, and the "avocado toast" suggestion is 100% correct. It's spicy, yes, but the flavour is so complex and smoky. A little sprinkle is all you need. It's also amazing on mangoes. A new staple.
Be careful, this is the real deal! It has that perfect heat and korerima flavour. It's not just "chili powder." Perfect for kitfo or just dipping your gursha. Betam konjo!
