Tegelese Tesmi
(Spiced Butter) Recipe

Origin: Eritrea Period: Traditional

Ingredients:

200g unsalted butter
100ml water
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp fresh ginger, shredded
1/2 tsp Berbere spice

Tegelese Tesmi
(Spiced Butter) Preparation:

Method:

Add the butter and water to a frying pan and heat until the butter has melted. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer on a very low flame for 30 minutes, until the butter is clear. Do not stir, as this will make the mixture cloudy once again. Pass through a sieve, allow to cool a little then store the butter in a tight-lidded jar.
