Awaze is a thick, no-cook dip made with the Ethiopian berbere spice blend. Serve it with fried pastries or grilled meats, or pack it in a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the ingredients

5 min

Mix the berbere with the olive oil, water, crushed garlic, and salt for 5 minutes, until smooth and paste-like.

2

Let the sauce rest

10 min

Let the sauce rest for 10 minutes so the flavors can meld.

3

Serve

2 min

Stir the rested sauce one more time, transfer it to a small bowl, and serve.

Reminder

Add the berbere a little at a time and taste as you go; the mixture can quickly become very spicy. Stir the sauce one more time after resting to bring the spices settled at the bottom back into the mixture. No allergens are listed.
