"Sunday dinner is an extravagant, multi-course affair that my parents pride themselves on hosting weekly. Similarly, they really enjoy going all-out for breakfast, which always features the fluffiest scrambled eggs, freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and my favorite item of all: my dad's famous bacon. Sure, many dads have a "special" bacon that's famous among their closest family and friends. It might even include some variation of maple syrup or cayenne."
"If you've never had Berbere seasoning, then you're in for a treat. The spice blend originates in Ethiopia, and is a mix of chile peppers, garlic, onions, holy basil, rue, rosemary, ginger, grains of paradise, thyme, fenugreek, cumin, koseret, cinnamon, ajwain, long pepper, and cloves. It's PACKED with flavor and has so many different dimensions - warm with a bit of heat, yet fresh from all the herbs, and it still maintains a bit of sweetness."
Family meals prioritize extravagant multi-course spreads and elaborate breakfasts featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls, and a signature oven-baked bacon. The bacon recipe uses a sprinkle of Berbere seasoning and brown sugar before baking strips on a wire rack. Berbere is an Ethiopian spice blend combining chiles, garlic, herbs, ginger, fenugreek, cumin, cinnamon, and other spices, producing warm heat, herbal freshness, and subtle sweetness. The seasoning complements bacon by adding smoky, sweet, and spicy dimensions that cut through fat. The blend also works well on other proteins like chicken thighs and is reserved for holiday breakfasts.
