Notes
Berbere: Once you ground it, store it in an airtight container. As the spice will remain fresh for a longer time and free from any moisture.Kidney Beans: You can also use canned Beans for easier cooking, and then set timer of Instant Pot for 10 minutes.You can use Berbere in any dish that requires a little heat, as Berbere is a bit spicy.I have made the dish using my Instant Pot 6QT Duo60 7-in-1 Multi Cooker, and you can also make in Stove-Top Pressure Cooker.If you like this recipe, Please RATE by clicking the Stars or leave FEEDBACK!
