Ethiopian Berbere Curry
This delicious curry is inspired by Ethiopian cuisine and uses a spice blend called berbere. I would describe it as a spicy masala – it has a fantasti...c heat to it. It tastes phenomenal with the mangetout and greens, but you could use any vegetables you have to hand. I learnt the trick of adding nut butter to rice from a young Zimbabwean chef who told me it was a staple in their cuisine. It adds protein to the wholegrain rice and tastes wonderful with this curry.

Loved it! Absolutely delicious. I added a medley of green veggies: sugar snap peas, long-stem broccoli, and green beans. I made the barbere spice mix, so this will definitely be on my menu again!
Oh, and I loved the rice with peanut butter, which is a great tip. Thank you.
Simple and very tasty. I added chunks of cod fillet in final few minutes of cooking for extra protein. Great way to use leftover green veg.
Great tasting curry. Another tasty recipe!
Amazing recipe yet again from the Drs Kitchen. Love trying different cuisines from around the world. I’ve never had Berbere spice before but it will be a cupboard essential going forward
