Brundo Market Kibbeh Manteria Ethiopian Spiced Butter Seasoning — 1oz Organic, Non-GMO, Roast-Infused for Niter Kibbeh

This 1oz jar of Kibbeh Manteria delivers the warm, complex spice blend used for preparing niter kibbeh—Ethiopian clarified butter infused with local herbs and aromatics. Sourced and blended in Ethiopia and packaged in Oakland, CA, the seasoning is non-GMO and organic, designed for home cooks who want a genuine Ethiopian flavor without sourcing individual rare spices. Use it to infuse butter or oil, or sprinkle it directly into soups, stews, legumes, and roasted vegetables for an instantly recognizable East African profile.

What is Kibbeh Manteria and how does it differ from other spice blends?

Kibbeh Manteria is a specific Ethiopian mix of toasted seeds, aromatic herbs, and warming spices intended primarily for clarifying butter into niter kibbeh. Unlike single-spice mixes, it focuses on creating a compound buttery seasoning rather than seasoning food directly, although it performs well both ways.

• Made from traditional Ethiopian ingredients roasted for depth.
• Formulated to infuse fats (butter or oil) for prolonged flavor release.
• Non-GMO, organic sourcing emphasizes authenticity and quality.

How do I use Kibbeh Manteria to make niter kibbeh at home?

To make niter kibbeh, gently melt unsalted butter, add Kibbeh Manteria, and simmer over low heat until the milk solids separate and flavorful solids infuse the fat. Strain the butter through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and store the infused clarified butter in a sealed jar for several weeks refrigerated.

• Use about 1 teaspoon per 4 tablespoons of butter to start; adjust to taste.
• Simmer on low 10–20 minutes—do not boil—to preserve aroma.
• Strain to remove toasted bits for a clear, long-lasting clarified butter.

What dishes benefit most from this Ethiopian spiced butter seasoning?

Kibbeh Manteria elevates classic Ethiopian recipes like doro wat and misir wot, and also adds depth to contemporary dishes—think roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and pan-seared proteins. Its warm, herbal profile layers well with legumes, rice, and stews where slow-cooked flavor is desired.

• Traditional: wots, stews, and spiced lentils.
• Modern: tossed vegetables, grain salads, and bakes.
• Finishing oil: brush over grilled meats or dab on bread for aromatic richness.
