From the kitchen

  • Awaze goes in near the end. It is a paste with tej and oil in it and it catches and burns faster than dry berbere

  • This is the hottest of the common tibs. A spoon more awaze is the usual adjustment, and nobody ever adds less

  • If the awaze has stiffened in the jar, loosen it with a spoonful of tej before it goes near the pan

  • The sauce should coat the meat, not pool around it. If it pools, the heat was too low
