Spices Make the Meal

In Ethiopia, the Spices Make the Meal 

At community mills in Addis Ababa, whole spices are hauled to community mills by the sackful. Blends differ by the household, but the resulting berbere forms the basis of countless Ethiopian stews, including a dish called zilzil tibs. Our quicker version, Ethiopian-Style Sautéed Beef, Onion and Chilies, generously coats sliced beef with berbere, and we add a splash of white wine to blend with the meat’s juices and make a light, simple sauce.  Get the recipe HERE.
