Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Internet has been really hard to find and I haven't had much luck getting fast enough internet to upload pictures!

Injera with Wot Variety

Injera served at almost every meal. It is a soft, crepe-like bread that has a tangy taste. You tear off a piece with your hands and use it to grab one of the wots that is served with it. There is a large variety of wots – vegetables or meat mixed in with spicy sauces.

Chechebsa

A traditional Ethiopian breakfast - chopped up injera mixed with awaze (chili) sauce and a few other spices. Topped with yogurt and served with local honey for dipping.

Tebs

Beef or lamb cut up into pieces and fried - topped with peppers and onions and served with injera. Usually comes with chili, awaze, and Ethiopian mustard sauces for dipping. My favorite! Although during the fasting months before Easter it is not available…

Fetira

A fried and crispy pastry-like base can be filled with vegetables, meat, and fruit, but is most commonly filled with eggs. It almost always comes with honey and is one of the few non-spicy options for breakfast so I order it a lot.

Asa

Ethiopian fish is usually served whole, fried, and with limes. It’s delicious, but you have to be careful of the bones. Of course, it is eaten with nothing but your hands.
