Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 pound unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 2-inch cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
3 BLACK cardamom pods ((not the green cardamom variety))
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon besobela (,if you can find it, otherwise omit (see blog post))
1 tablespoon kosseret (,if you can find it, otherwise omit (see blog post))

Steps:

Toast the whole spices over medium heat in a dry skillet for a few minutes until very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will become bitter. Set aside.
Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring it to an extremely low simmer. Continue to simmer over low for at least one hour or up to 90 minutes. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE BUTTER. If it burns it will be bitter and there is no salvaging it.
Pour everything through a fine-mesh cheesecloth. (No need to skim off the foam, everything will be removed during straining.) Pour the niter kibbeh into a jar, let it cool, and cover so that it is airtight. It will keep at room temperature for several weeks, in the fridge for at least a couple of months, and even longer in the freezer (it will be hard in the fridge and freezer, let it come to room temp for easy scooping). Makes about 2 cups.

ETHIOPIAN BUTTER

Ethiopian Butter image

Our spiced butter, called niter kebbeh, at the Ethiopian restaurant I worked at absolutely required four things (other than butter): minced shallots, toasted cardamom, fenugreek and turmeric. Oh, and one other thing - time. Slow cooking is essential to this concoction.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound unsalted butter
2 minced shallots, about 1/4 cup
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
12 to 15 crushed cardamom pods
5 whole cloves
1 piece cinnamon stick, about an inch long
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground fenugreek

Steps:

Toast the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon in a dry pan over medium heat until they are aromatic, about a minute.
Cut the butter into cubes.
Toss everything into a heavy pot and turn the heat on low. Let this come to a bare simmer and cook gently for at least 30 minutes. We cooked ours at least an hour. It is vital that the milk solids do not burn. If they do, you have ruined the butter. Watch for browning, and when you see it, turn off the heat.
Strain through cheesecloth and store in a clean glass jar. It'll last 6 months in the fridge, at least a week on the counter, and forever in the freezer.
