This is a pretty good recipe for Berbere. However, authentic Berbere takes several days to make and the peppers are sun-dried. I give you props for attempting berbere because my mother (I am Ethiopian) has never even tried it and she is an awesome cook. I would recommend cooking Ethiopian dishes with imported berbere if possible. Thanks for posting !
