Showcasing the fiery heat of African bird’s eye chilies, this Ethiopian spice blend is used as a flavorful finisher. The vibrant orange powder also includes earthy, herbal ajwain and aromatic, sage-like koseret, both of which yield a nuanced underlying complexity. A hit of salt brings out each seasoning’s bold flavor. Not usually found in grocery stores, this blend is a perfect entry point to the Ethiopian pantry.
Not sure how you’d use it?
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
HOW TO USE
One of the traditional uses for mitmita is as a finishing sprinkle on kifto, a beef tartare dish, but it’s also a punchy addition to other beef applications: sprinkle atop grilled kebabs, burger patties instead of salt (before or after cooking) or rich slices of roast beef. Use as a dry rub for any protein or mild steamed fish like cod, or to season everything from eggs to avocado toast to our Spiced Butter Popcorn. It’s also an ideal way to transform a simple veggie side dish: To add instant depth, toss mitmita with anything from roasted broccoli to glazed carrots to our Roasted Cabbage with Cilantro and Sesame (the punchy spice will balance the vegetable’s deeply caramelized flavors).
