Unlock the fiery, aromatic potential of this legendary blend:

• Classic Doro Wat: The essential base for Ethiopia's famous spicy chicken stew.

• Lentil & Vegetable Stews: Add depth and heat to misir wat (red lentil stew) and other vegetable dishes.

• Meat & Tofu Rubs: Create a flavourful crust on chicken, beef, or tofu before roasting or grilling.

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss sweet potatoes, cauliflower, or carrots in oil and Berbere before roasting.

• Spicy Eggs: Add a pinch to scrambled eggs or shakshuka for a flavourful kick.

How to Use: For authentic results, fry several tablespoons in niter kibbeh (spiced Ethiopian butter) or oil to create a flavour base (key) before adding other ingredients. Use cautiously—this blend is authentically hot!

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its potent heat and aroma.
