Berbere

Spicy Ethiopian Lamb Stew

by Erica Perez

Our version of this classic Ethiopian stew starts with Berbere spice, one of the main components of Ethiopian cuisine. First you make a paste with the spice and red wine, then you make a simmer sauce and then the stew itself.

You can serve this comforting, thick lentil stew along with braised greens, as a side dish to meat or chicken, or scoop it up with pieces of injera (Ethiopian bread).

Chile Limón

Mango Salsa

by My Berkeley Kitchen

I chose mango as the base to this salsa because mango, lime and chile have always been a classic summer time combination. The smoked Spanish paprika found in Chile Limón balances out the sweetness of mangoes.

Yellow cardamom is the perfect muse for ice cream because the pods have been allowed to fully ripen, imparting a sweet flavor with notes of grass.

Ever since I saw pictures of this pretty pink drink, I knew I had to recreate it at home. I'm not much of a coffee drinker so adding beetroot to my version of traditional chai seemed like an interesting twist.
