Comment préparer Berbere Ethiopian Red Pepper And Spice Paste
- In a heavy frying pan, toast 1 tbsp ginger (finely chopped), 1 tsp cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp fenugreek seeds, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, 4 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick (2 inches), and ½ tsp allspice berries over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- Remove the toasted spices from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine the toasted spices, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp salt, and ¼ cup dry red wine. Process until a smooth paste forms.
- In the same frying pan, toast 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), and 1 tsp black pepper over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add ¼ cup water to the toasted peppers and spices, stirring until a paste forms.
- Add the spice and wine mixture to the pan. Stir vigorously and cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, for at least 5 minutes, or up to 15 minutes for a deeper flavor. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to prevent burning.
- Transfer the Berbere paste to a clean, airtight jar. Pack it tightly.
- Let the paste cool completely to room temperature.
- Cover the paste with enough oil (vegetable or olive) to create a ¼-inch layer on top.
- Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for up to 5-6 months.
