Note : "Dillik" is a thick hot sauce. It must be made with Abyssinian
"berberei" or its derivatives. This recipe is a "concentrate," so to
speak. This "dillik" can be diluted with water or olive oil to make a more
traditional "Awazey Sauce." To obtain "berberei," if there is an
Eritrean/Ethiopian restaurant in your city, call them to find out where to
obtain the spice. In Dallas, "berberei" and its derivatives can be
purchased from the Maru Grocery at 8353 Park Lane (a couple of blocks east
of Central Expressway). The telephone number is +214.373.6278. They
provide a mail-order service. There is another Maru Grocery in Houston at
6065 Bissonet Street (tel. +713.665.6662).
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of regular berberei, awazey berberei or hot berberei (or various

1/4 teaspoon of cardamom
1/4 cup of chianti or merlot red wine
2 Tablespoons of water
2 Tablespoons of lime juice
PREPARATION
