As the coronavirus pandemic prevents most of us from traveling the world as we used to, it is time to get creative. We can still get some of those travel feelings from home if we just play our cards right.
A good trick for feeling like you’re traveling is to taste and try cooking food from all over the world. Today, why not sample the delights of Ethiopian cuisine?
Injera
Injera is the base food of Ethiopian cuisine. It is a thin rubbery bread that you use to scoop up the other dishes. It is slightly bitter and sour to the taste if eaten on its own, but complements the fiery curries and sauces beautifully.
Vegetable Curries
Ethiopian cuisine is full of vibrant and colorful vegetable curries. Made from a large variety of vegetables, herbs, and chilis, they will have your taste buds dancing the eskista.
Berbere
Berbere is a spice mix that is made of up to 16 spices such as ginger, fenugreek, chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, and cardamom. It is one of the common dish accompaniments you will find in Ethiopia.
Tef
Tef is the world’s smallest grain and is a staple of the Ethiopian diet. Known as a superfood in the West, it is high in protein, calcium and is gluten-free. Tef is the main ingredient in injera.
