Berbere Spice Blend

Wonderful,as are all your products.
Thank You

This a great blend, add just one teaspoon to your normal Shepard's pie recipe and it will blow you and the kids away

Makes the most delicious vegetable curry and I'm a dedicated carnivore.

Super stuff this. Used it in Jamie’s ’7 Ways’ Ethiopian Fish Curry. Careful though, it is HOT

I don't have any photos of my recipe for Tsebhi Birsen, so am going to put it here instead. There are tons of variations on this dhal, but this is my tried and tested version:

•,250g red lentils
•,1 tin chopped tomatoes
•,1 dsp tomato puree
•,3 or 4 cloves garlic, sliced
•,1 onion
•,4 tsp berbere spice mix
•,1 tsp cumin
•,1 tsp ground ginger
•,6 cardamon pods
•,Pinch salt
•,Boiling water

Fry onion gently until very soft in plenty of oil.

Add garlic for one minute.

Add berbere spice mix and keep stirring for 4 mins.

Add cumin, cardamon, ginger and stir for 1 more minute.

Add tin toms amd tom puree and stir for another minute.

Add pinch of salt.

Add lentils and mix thoroughly until every lentil coated.

Pour in enough boiling water to cover mixture (and a little bit more so it’s not dry).

Bring to boil, and simmer for 30 mins, stirring every 10 mins.

Serve with basmati rice and a good dollop of sour cream on the side.
