Re: Re: Ethiopian Injera

You can check online for Ethiopian dishes to go with injera - they do a lot

of mustard greens/kale/collars kind of dishes. They also do spicy chicken

stew - but you want vegetarian... I eat meat stews and curries with injera

and dosas. You might try any spicy bean stew or Indian-type dal as well as

salads, veggie stews - just about anything that has a sauce that will be

absorbed by the injera.

Ok, Connie, my first batch of Injera is sitting on the counter to

ferment overnight. Do you have any recommendations for tasty side

dishes/ non-meat based accompaniments? What do you usually serve

with your injera? I am really excited about this culinary experiment-

wish me luck!

I usually make doro wat, a traditional chicken stew.

I make my own berberi to put in it. Berberi is a spice

mixture. They have many vegetable dishes. Here's a

good recipe link:
