The spices used vary by recipe but every Mitmita blend contains African bird&rsquo;s eye chili peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>African bird&rsquo;s eye chili pepper is related to regular bird&rsquo;s eye chili pepper often called piri piri or peri peri. It is a small pepper with a pointy end that grows with the point facing upwards rather than down. When ripe, the pepper turns red. Bird&rsquo;s eye peppers introduced to Africa developed their own flavor and appearance due to the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitmita is used to season beans and meat, most commonly Kitfo. Kitfo is a dish of finely minced raw beef. It is sometimes used to make <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/ethiopian-awaze-recipe\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"70132\">Awaze<\/a>, an Ethiopian dipping sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin &amp; Cultural Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spices are significant in Ethiopian cuisine. Located near the Red sea, Ethiopia once controlled the spice trade and with that came the introduction of many spices into Ethiopia and the formulation of spice blends like Mitmita and <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/ethiopian-berbere-spice-blend-recipe\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"69638\">Berbere<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-recipe\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Ethiopian Mitmita Recipe\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Travel Food Atlas\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-11-12\",\"recipeYield\":10,\"description\":\"Mitmita is a traditional Ethiopian spice blend consisting of spices like ginger, cumin, cardamom and cloves to name a few.
