AWAZE AVOCADO TOAST WITH SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• For the awaze sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the red wine and honey. Stir in the Berbere Spice Blend and 1/2 teaspoon salt. The sauce will be a little runny but will thicken as it sits. (This makes more awaze than you'll need for the recipe, but it keeps for at least a week in the fridge and is wonderful on roasted meats or vegetables or stirred into cooked grains. If it is too thick once refrigerated, stir in a few teaspoons of hot water.)
• For the avocado toast with soft-boiled eggs: Put the eggs in a small saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes (6 will produce set whites with a runny yolk, at 7 minutes the yolk will be almost set but still a bit jammy in the center), then transfer to an ice bath to cool. Peel and halve the eggs.
• Toast the rye bread and brush one side with ghee or butter. Put an avocado half on each slice of toast. Mash coarsely with a fork and season with salt. Top with the egg halves. Drizzle with the awaze sauce and top with Pickled Red Onions and Jalapenos and cilantro leaves.
• 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.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Add the ginger, coriander and mustard seeds. Simmer to dissolve the sugar and salt, about 1 minute. Stir in the red onions and jalapenos and let cool. (Extra pickled red onions and jalapenos will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
