    Blogging Marathon# 36: Week 3/ Day 1
    Theme: Ethiopian Cuisine
    Dish: Tomato Salad

    My theme for this week's blogging marathon is trying 3 dishes from either European, African or Oceanian cuisines. I wanted to try some dishes from African cuisine, but after reading through the list of regions and dishes on wiki, I decided to stick to Ethiopian Cuisine. Ethiopia is a country that is located in Horn of Africa, the eastern most projection of African continent. It was interesting to know that Ethiopia is one of the oldest location for human life known to scientists.

    Coming to Ethiopian cuisine, it consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes, in the form of wat, served on a large sourdough based flat bread called injera. Also Ethiopians eat with their right hand just as Indians do and the spices used are also very similar.

    Ethiopian Spice Mix

    Today I have two Ethiopian recipes: Berbere spice mix -- this is very similar to our very own garam masala and is essential to make maby Ethiopian dishes. I already have a recipe for berbere spice, but this one's a little different and it is Chef Marcus Samuelsson's recipe. Second recipe is a simple and refreshing Tomato salad.

      I have a love/hate relationship with Etiopian cuisine. I love berbere spice mix - it makes many of their meat and veggie dishes so delicious but I hate injera bread - the texture I find so unappetizing - like a sponge.

      The spice powder sounds so aromatic and flavorful. The salad looks very tempting and vibrant.

      Great post! I’m going through a major obsession with spices this summer and am excited to add berbere to my arsenal. I recently purchased imported berbere from http://www.fassica.com The tastewas great. I cooked Misir wot - spicy red lentils and love it.
