Tanzanian mishkaki

East African cuisine

Bold, spicy and citrusy flavors pop in East African inspired dishes, such as mishkaki, meat skewers marinated in a Tanzanian blend of lemon, tomatoes and green papaya, finished with curry, garlic, red pepper and ginger. Berbere, a popular Ethiopian seasoning, combines paprika, allspice, coriander, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and red pepper, kicking up chicken stew, lentils and vegetables.
