Mitmita - Ethiopian Bird’s Eye Chili Pepper Blend

Bold, spicy, and unmistakably Ethiopian — Mitmita is a vibrant, fiery spice blend that packs an unforgettable punch. Known for its brilliant orange-red hue and intense heat, this finely ground blend of bird’s eye chili peppers, cardamom, and other warm spices is a beloved staple in Ethiopian cuisine. 

Traditionally, Mitmita, with its fiery heat and aromatic complexity, is used to enhance the taste of raw beef dishes like kitfo and gored gored, but its versatility goes far beyond. Sprinkle it over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and lentils for a spicy kick, or stir it into scrambled eggs, stews, and sauces for a bold, aromatic touch.
