Hot Tips

Berbere substitution

When making Doro Wat, about 4 tablespoons of Berebere, an extremely hot Ethiopian red pepper mixture, is used in each recipe. You can substitute a combination of cayenne pepper and paprika (which is not Ethiopian) to replicate the characteristic dark color and flavor.

Glossary

Hake

Various members of the cod family are known as hake and are available fresh or frozen, whole or as steaks and fillets. Mild, subtle flavour suitable for frying, poaching and in soups.
