Benbenberi: when I was a teen, I had something called "seafood newberg" at a restaurant in Galena, Illinois, of all places for seafood. Loved it! It took over 35 years for me of think of Googling it. A-maz-ing. Just don't tell my cardiologist.
As much as I love Ethiopian food, I never ventured to make it at home until tonight. This weekend I got a jar of berbere spice and made lentil and potato stew. Quite good! I thought most of the savory flavor variety of the berbere cooked out, but it had just the right amount of fire and the flavor got better as it cooled. I'm not brave enough to try to cook the enjera bread, so it went really well on basmati rice.
