A ground meat dish from Ethiopian cuisine prepared with the special spice blend mitmita and melted butter, quickly seared over high heat. With its intense spice aroma and buttery texture, it's an unusual recipe that stands out on special occasion tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the butter

8 min

Melt the butter over low heat and skim off the foam on top to clarify it; separate the milk solids at the bottom.

2

Brown the ground meat

8 min

Sauté the ground meat in the clarified butter over high heat, stirring constantly; let the meat release its juices and cook through completely.

3

Add the spices

2 min

Add the mitmita, cumin, and salt and sauté for 1-2 more minutes so the spices fully infuse into the meat.

4

Serve

2 min

Serve the hot ground meat together with fresh cheese and leafy greens, if desired.

Reminder

Important: Sauté the ground meat briefly over high heat — prolonged cooking toughens the meat. Caution: In this recipe the ground meat is cooked through completely; unlike the traditional Ethiopian presentation, rare or raw consumption is not recommended — for food safety, make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked. Allergens: contains a dairy product (butter).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you can't find mitmita, you can get a similar spice profile by mixing hot ground pepper, cumin, and salt in equal proportions.
