Title: Berbere Post by Rat Man on Apr 23rd, 2023 at 7:07pm
About twelve years ago I was at a barbeque at a friend's house. One of his neighbors who was from somewhere in Africa sent over a plate of barbequed chicken. I tried some and realized that it was spiced with something the likes of which I had never tasted before. It was absolutely delicious and totally alien. It was like discovering a new color. I never did meet the African neighbors to ask what the mystery spice was and I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never know.
About two weeks ago I was watching a rerun of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown. He was in Ethiopia and of course sampling the local cuisine. He described a spice used heavily in Ethiopian cooking... Berbere. It sounded like what I had tasted at that barbeque. I decided to take a chance and ordered some from Amazon. Much to my delight Berbere is the mystery spice. I just made some pork chops with it and they were heavenly. It's potent, slightly hot, and a little bitter but in a good way. If you want to try something very different and extremely delicious get some Berbere. https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-berbere-spice-4773542 |
