Korerima | Black Cardamom
Korerima – Ethiopian Black Cardamom
ኮሮሪማ
Minty yet smoky, earthy yet floral — the spice that hums underneath everything in Ethiopian cooking. It anchors berbere and mitmita, perfumes niter kibbeh, appears in mekelesha, seasons kitfo, and finds its way into Ethiopian tea and coffee. If you've ever eaten a wot and thought there's something in here I can't name — it was probably this.
How to use it
Crack a pod and toast the seeds briefly before grinding. Add to spice blends, niter kibbeh, wot bases, spiced coffee, or rice.
