As written, this is inedible because there is WAY too much Berbere. This recipe is a promising start, but I'd recommend using only a teaspoon of spice and working your way up. Berbere is almost entirely cayenne pepper. I want to salvage the leftovers, so I'm going to add a ton of sour cream. Hopefully that will keep it from being painful to eat.
