Ethiopian Food - Injera


As Jennifer and I have been reading, the culture of food is very different from the US. The following is a staple in Ethiopia.

The sauce shown on the injera in this photo is called shiro. It is suppose to be very yummy!!

Injera dough must ferment for several days to produce a good quality Injera. (It seems to be very similar to a sourdough-type batter.)

The entire prep process can be read about here. It looks like we have a lot to learn about good food! When I get a moment I will tell you about the Coffee Ceremony that is celebrated in Ethiopia and I am thinking about adopting it here =)
