Awaze is a traditional Ethiopian sauce or spice paste, made from berbere, mitmita and t'edj (mead). It’s served with, and used to prepare, the country's main dishes.
Mix all ingredients until you get a smooth consistency.
Store awaze in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
TIP:
A more traditional awaze recipe will use tej (honey wine) as the alcoholic liquid or areka (a strong alcoholic drink similar to gin). I only make awaze with red wine, but you could also try white wine or one of these other stronger substitutes.
