One traditional Ethiopian dish is firfir, which combines the flatbread injera with tangy, mildly spicy berbere sauce. Typically featuring dried beef or lamb, making firfir begins with browning diced onions and then adding garlic paste and vegetable oil. Once a fragrant smell emerges, add diced tomatoes and, after a few minutes, add the dried beef, along with water. This is brought to a simmer and cooked until the beef has softened and the consistency is similar to a thick tomato soup. At this point, tear an injera pancake into small pieces and add it to the sauce. Once the pancake has completely absorbed the moisture, the dish is ready to be served. It’s typically served on an intact injera, and sliced hot peppers are sometimes added on top. Comments are closed.
