Home made Ethiopian Feast: 7 '16


CC just couldn't resist trying her hand at making Ethiopian Food.
  For dinner tonight, we had:
  • Doro Wot (Red Chicken Stew): One of the most popular dish of Ethiopia
  • Alicha : Red split lentils cooked with garlic, onions, green pepper, ginger root, oil, seasoned w/ turmeric & other tasty herbs and spices. Mild
  • Kik Alicha:  Yellow split peas cooked with garlic, onions, green pepper, & ginger root, seasoned w/ tasty herbs and; spices. Mild. 
  • Gomen: Collard greens cooked with onions, garlic, ginger root,  well-seasoned with herbs and spices, but not enough to cover the greens’ flavor. 
  • Atkilt Alicha : Potatoes, and; carrots stewed with ginger root,and garlic, then seasoned with tasty herbs and spices. Mild. 
  • All served on Injera: a thin sourdough Teff grain crepe that is used to pick up and eat the items with.
The Injera recipe could use a bit of tweaking.  They came out a bit denser than the ones we were served in the Ethiopian restaurant last month.  But all things considered, everything tasted really good.
