Ethiopian Spiced Almonds are a quick and easy snack made with berbere seasoning. Feel free to mix up the flavor with your favorite spices!
I’ve been hard at work on a new website, and today, it finally went live! It’s called The Domestic Mixologist, and it’s a project that my friend Mara and I have been developing since the end of last year.
Of course, we had to throw a little party to kick it off. We had a “Testing and Tasting Party”, where people could test drive our new website while tasting some of our signature concoctions.
To round out the menu, I wanted to make another batch of spiced almonds. I used a similar technique to the Spanish Spiced Almonds that I made for New Year’s Eve, but decided to use some berbere spice. They turned out great!
