Burundi is a very poor nation where meat is often a luxury not a regular part of a daily diet so I opted to make Ibiharage which is sort of a bean stew that relies heavily on onions for flavor. And some garlic.
I, as usual, added more garlic than the recipe called for because 2 cloves is not enough for anything, IMO.
And it was tasty! I felt it could be a little bit tastier though, so I added some Berbere seasoning to it which made it perfect!
Berbere is an Ethiopian spice blend that can vary in heat but contains "warm" spices like cumin and cinnamon. It's made up of more than that and adds warmth but not necessarily heat to a dish. It can be spicy but the blend I use is not super hot. Because I'm a wimp. 😄
Would I make this again? Yes!
