So far on this blog, we have passed along a great recipe for Injera, the traditional Ethiopian bread. Injera tastes a little strange and sour and, so, there are 3 amazing recipes that you can cook to dump on top of it. We've also given you the first of the 3 recipes, Doro (Chicken) Wat. The other 2 recipes are Gomen Wat (Ethiopian Greens), and Kik Pea Alecha (Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans Stew). We're going to tackle the Gomen Wat this week and, coming up in the next few weeks, we've got some Latin American recipes as well as a great Fettucini Alfredo recipe for you. Enjoy!

DeleteI have never tried Ethiopian food.... sounds different & yummy.
ReplyDeleteethiopan food is the best try it u love it
DeleteSO gotta try this!
ReplyDeleteAfter a lifetime of thinking I didn't like kale, coincidentally I found out this week that I do actually like it (a friend served it in a stew). So I'll definitely be giving this recipe a try - thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried Ethiopian food before too. Looks yummy and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so healthy and very good. Reminds me of Collard greens. I must admit I have never eaten kale, but I love a culinary adventure!
ReplyDeleteI have had Injera bread at an Ethopian restaurant, and you are right- it was a little sour and had the texture of a shammy, yet really good to mop and sop up the delicious food.
I'll be back for more international recipes.

I've never cooked kale before, and a friend of mine bought some when we were at the farmer's market and was wondering how to cook it. Now, I know! :-) Fascinating that you are doing these international recipes! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Foodie Friday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Sounds very interesting... I hear Ethiopian food is very tasty.

Omg this is JUST what I was looking for in terms of ingredients and cooking! My co-worker who is Ethopian makes some of the best greens (Sorry Mum!) and I have wanted to recreate them forever!
