Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Ethiopian Berber Spice

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
3. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Stir in the Ethiopian Berber Spice, California Chili Powder, salt, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the spices.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes and stir to combine.
