Berbere

Berbere (Amharic: በርበሬ berberē, Tigrinya: በርበረ berbere) is a spice mixture whose constituent elements usually include chili peppers, garlic, ginger, basil, korarima, rue, ajwain or radhuni, nigella, and fenugreek.[1][2][3] It serves as a key ingredient in the cuisines of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Berbere is very versatile and can be used in many non-Ethiopian dishes.

Berbere sometimes encompasses herbs and spices that are less well known internationally. The latter include both cultivated plants and those that grow wild in Ethiopia, such as korarima (Aframomum corrorima)[4] and long pepper.[5]
