Best Korerima for home cooking
What Korerima is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Ethiopian cardamom: larger, smokier, and the seed berbere cannot do without.
In Ethiopian cooking, Korerima is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Crack the pods and grind. Berbere without korerima is a different blend. There is no grocery-cardamom substitute that keeps the smoke.
