This recipe was okay but no one really cared to have it again. I used my own recipes for berbere and spiced butter. It seems like there's too much dry spices, I had to add almost a cup of water extra so that the sauce didn't seem grainy. It was also bitter (maybe from all the paprika in this recipe and the berbere) so I added about 2.5t of sugar.
