For the berbere spice blend, Chef John is using three kinds of chile powder, including ground New Mexico chile, a medium-spicy pepper with a sweet, earthy flavor. Ancho or California chiles would also work. “Authentic berbere spice would use whole spice seeds/pods, toasted, and ground,” says Chef John. “But I usually toast the spices during the cooking process.”

"This is the staple bread of Ethiopia," says MyPlate. "It is traditionally made with teff, a very finely milled millet flour. Regular millet flour from a health food store will work fine. Use this bread to sop up the flavors of spicy stews."

A quick and easy Ethiopian red lentil stew, seasoned with berbere, served with rice. "Phenomenal!" raves Isis Charise. "I tried a bunch of Ethiopian dishes including meat dishes and this was by far the winner of the bunch. This recipe made a LOT of food… The good thing about making this quantity is that it freezes well and is even more delicious when you go back to it."

A fragrant take on a traditional Ethiopian vegetarian dish, collard greens are well-seasoned with turmeric, paprika, allspice, and ginger. "I made this exactly as the recipe called for and it was surprisingly delicious and to my utter astonishment my very picky nine year old gobbled it down and asked for seconds," says JC Hurst. "My whole family loves this recipe, and now I have a recipe for all those collard greens I planted this year."
