What we’re exploring
Three blends. Three moods. One big lesson: spice can carry story.
In this episode
- Berbere: deep warmth and slow-building complexity
- Mitmita: heat-forward, bold, and unapologetic
- Mekelesha: aromatic, layered, and quietly powerful
Try this today
- Stir Berbere into lentils or tomato sauce
- Use Mitmita for a quick “finishing heat”
- Add Mekelesha to sautéed onions before anything else hits the pan
Flavor tip
Think of these as toolkits, not “cuisines you must obey.”
