Use Berbere Paste to flavor stews made with any combination of meat, vegetables or legumes.

The spicy, sweet, and citrus notes come together to create a complex seasoning that adds flavor with more oomph than tomato paste!

Add a tablespoon or more to stews and casseroles for a hearty, spicy flavor. Use on everything from protein to fruit.

  • Roast the Berbere spices in a hot, dry pan for one minute, then process to a paste with the onion, garlic, salt and wine.
  • Stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper and cold water.
  • Cook over low-moderate heat, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes, until the onion is cooked. (Taste and add more salt or cayenne to taste.)
  • When cool, transfer paste to a screw-top jar and cover with a film of oil.

Jenny's Tip: - This paste will keep in the refrigerator for up to six months.
