🇪🇹Ethiopian Recipes

Discover Ethiopian cuisine — injera sourdough flatbread, berbere-spiced wats, doro wat, kitfo, and the communal gursha tradition.

4 recipes

Ethiopian cuisine centers on injera (teff sourdough flatbread) topped with wats (spiced stews) built on berbere chili blend and niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter). Distinct Orthodox-fasting vegan tradition (no animal products on fasting days) sits alongside meat dishes like doro wat and kitfo. Eating communally from a shared platter (gursha) is central.
