Berbere Ethiopian Spice Blend – Spicy Seasoning for Chicken, Meat, Lentils & Stews – 2 oz – Zamouri Spices

Zamouri Spices are top quality and always well blended and fresh. I recommend Berbere spices for those looking to change up their food flavors and add some verity to their menu. the traditional Ethiopian dish of stewed chicken flavored with Berbere spice ( Doro Wat ) is a wonderful addition to your menu choices. if you are dieting and or following a strict diabetic diet, then you'll find adding this seasoning / dish to your choices to be especially desirable / appreciated. I recommend making the Doro Wat berbere spice chicken dish at least a day before you intend to eat it to let all the flavors meld and marinate into the chicken and vegetables. it's even better the 2nd or 3rd day after you make it. it's distinctly different from average fare and delicious.

I bought this spice because it has chili and Cayenne peppers as well as a a few other peppers I've never heard of. I don't cook Ethiopian foods, but I do like foods with a spicy kick. I'm always on the lookout for a spice that will put a bit of spice on my food. Recently I bought some frozen lemon pepper COD from Costco and decided to sprinkle the top with Berbere, wrap the COD in parchment paper and bake for the recommended time. What a great treat. The spice stays put and really enhances the flavor of the fish. Next I'll try chicken. This spice does have a bit too much Cumin but otherwise it's a great spice in my opinion.

Love the spices from this company. They taste great, are very fresh and good value for the money!

I purchased this product for a pot of Ethiopian beef stew. This is a savory, spicy blend, and the stew was scrumptious. The only suggestion I would make for the buyer: If you aren't a fan of highly spicy stews, use less of the product. My recipe called for 1/4 cup of the berbere blend, but 2/3 of that amount probably would suffice. It is a really good blend either way and I plan to purchase another jar soon.

I can't speak to the authenticity of the spice mix as I don't have any prior experience with it, but I used this in an Ethiopian chicken lentil stew recipe I got on Eating Well and it was delicious and pleasantly warming. The recipe called for 5 tablespoons, so I was a bit worried it would have too much kick, but it was the perfect amount of heat for me. This will have a permanent home in my spice rack from now on.

I’m so glad I tried this spice after seeing it used in a cooking show. It has a very unique mix of spices. I really love it in my turkey burger mix.

This stuff is very tasty and unlike a lot of varieties of berbere spice, it does not contain a lot of salt.

I wanted this spice as soon as I started reading Yes, Chef. I used it a couple of times while I was reading the book and really enjoyed it. I look forward to using it again soon. Easy or order and arrived very quickly.
