Ingredients

  1. 1 pound skinless halibut fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  2. 2 tablespoons Berbere Spice Blend, recipe follows
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 2 tablespoons ghee
  5. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  6. 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  7. 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  8. One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  9. 1 medium jalapeno, finely chopped (leave the seeds in for the most heat), plus sliced jalapeno, for garnish
  10. 4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
  11. 1/4 cup dry white wine
  12. Injera, for serving
  13. Lemon wedges, for serving
  14. 1/4 cup ground New Mexico chile
  15. 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  16. 1 teaspoon ground cayenne
  17. 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  18. 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  19. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  20. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  21. 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  22. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  23. 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  24. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  25. 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
  26. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  27. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Toss the halibut in a large bowl with the Berbere Spice Blend and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the ghee and olive oil. When hot, add the cubed halibut and sear, tossing occasionally, until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. (The fish doesn’t have to be completely cooked through at this point; it will cook more in the sauce.)
  3. Reduce the heat to medium high. In the same skillet, add the red onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned on the edges but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chopped jalapeno and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is thick and saucy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the halibut back to the sauce, gently toss and simmer until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Serve topped with the sliced jalapenos with injera and lemon wedges on the side.
  5. Combine the chile, paprika, cayenne, cardamom, coriander, cumin, ginger, mustard, onion powder, allspice, cinnamon, clove, garlic powder and nutmeg in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
