About Ethiopian cooking
What defines Ethiopian cooking?
Ethiopian cooking is organized around injera, the spongy teff flatbread that is simultaneously the plate, the utensil and a source of sourness, and around two seasonings: berbere, a chili blend running to a dozen spices, and niter kibbeh, butter clarified with fenugreek, ginger, cardamom and koseret. Stews (wats) are built on onions cooked dry and long, without oil, before any fat goes in — the step that gives them their depth. Fasting days make much of the repertoire naturally vegan. Our 2,078 Ethiopian recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Ethiopian pantry staples?
Berbere, mitmita, niter kibbeh, teff flour, red lentils and split peas, chickpea flour (shiro), red onions in quantity, garlic, ginger, cardamom, fenugreek and turmeric. Berbere and niter kibbeh are the two that define the flavor.
