Mitmita (ሚጥሚጣ) is a traditional Ethiopian spice blend famous for its intense heat and deep, complex flavor. Made from finely ground bird’s-eye chili peppers mixed with warm spices such as cardamom, cloves, and salt, Mitmita delivers a powerful kick that brings Ethiopian dishes to life.
This spice is most commonly used in kitfo (Ethiopian minced beef), tibs, and meat dishes, but it can also be added to stews, marinades, roasted vegetables, and sauces for a bold, spicy boost. Its fine texture allows it to blend smoothly into dishes, providing consistent flavor and heat.
A little goes a long way — Mitmita is prized for its ability to transform simple ingredients into rich, exciting meals with authentic Ethiopian character.
