Organic Berbere Spice

Berbere is the blend that defines Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking — the base of doro wat, the slow-braised chicken stew served at every major occasion. It isn't just heat. Smoked paprika brings the smoke, cayenne brings the fire, and fenugreek does the real work underneath — a slightly bitter, maple-like note that's the reason berbere tastes like berbere and not just another hot spice blend.

Twelve organic spices and applewood sea salt: smoked paprika, cayenne, onion, ginger, fenugreek, cardamom, coriander seed, garlic, nutmeg, clove, allspice, cinnamon, and applewood sea salt.

Good in a lentil stew, a lamb tibs, rubbed onto anything before it hits the grill.
