The mixture is used to season the raw beef dish kitfo and may also be sprinkled on ful medames (fava beans). In addition, mitmita may be presented as a condiment and sprinkled on other delicacies or spooned onto a piece of injera, so that morsels may be lightly dipped into it.

Mitmita could also be used as a seasoning and to add extra flavor on non-Ethiopian food. It is used to flavor stews of meat, vegetables, grilled chicken, duck, beef, tofu and more.
