Awaze

Description

Awaze is a traditional Ethiopian spice paste made from a blend of Berbere, ginger, garlic, Tej (Ethiopian honey wine), cardamom, and salt. This fiery and flavorful paste is typically used as a condiment or marinade, enhancing the flavor of grilled meats, stews, and other dishes with its rich, spicy, and slightly tangy taste.

It’s known for its deep red color, bold flavors, and aromatic qualities, making it a favorite accompaniment for many Ethiopian dishes. The Tej adds a subtle sweetness that balances the heat from the Berbere and ginger. Awaze brings a distinctive Ethiopian spice profile to any meal.
