Berbere spice mix is an Ethiopian flavoring made up of cumin and coriander seed, which are familiar from North African spice mixes, as well as a more localised blend of pepper, ajowan, fenugreek, allspice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tbsp macadamia oil
  • 500g organic beef mince
  • 1 brown or red onion, cut into wedges
  • ½ cup finely diced smoked sausage, optional
  • 2 tbsp Berbere spice mix
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
  • ¼ cup organic soy sauce or tamari
  • ¼ cup rice malt syrup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free option, if preferred)
  • veggies of choice, about 2 cups: broccoli florets, french beans, zucchini
  • 2 tsp tapioca (arrowroot) or cornflour
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Add beef and onion and sprinkle over with Berbere mix and cayenne, if using. Brown the meat, stirring and breaking up bigger chunks.
