Coriander Salsa

Ethiopian essentials: Berbere Spice Mix & Coriander Salsa

Berbere Spice Mix

This spice blend is considered the building block of Ethiopian cooking. It is a spicy and flavourful spice blend that certainly has a kick to it. You can reduce the amount of cayenne if you don’t like things too spicy.

Coriander Salsa

This recipe is a little untraditional, but it really makes a difference when served on top of my Lentil Stew recipe. Traditionally, the coriander, garlic and ginger are added during the cooking process of the stew, but this can mean some of the flavour is lost in the cooking process.
