Gluten-Free Ethiopian Injera Firfir Recipe

A Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free Delight

Ingredients:

– 1 cup finely chopped onions

– 1 cup chopped tomatoes

– 2 tablespoons berbere spice (adjust to taste)

– Pinch of cardamom (optional)

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 4 cups torn injera (leftover or freshly made)

–  water

– Salt to taste

–  garnish with fresh jalapeno (optional)

Instructions:

1. Saute Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute.

2. Add Tomatoes and Berbere Spice: Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they become soft. Stir in the berbere spice, adjusting the quantity based on your spice preference. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

3. cups torn injera (leftover or freshly made)

4. Incorporate Injera: Add the torn injera to the skillet and toss until it is well coated with the tomato and spice mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth or water to moisten the dish. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the injera has absorbed the flavors and softened.

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the salt and berbere spice according to your liking. Remember that injera tends to absorb flavors, so make sure the dish is well-seasoned.

6. Serve: Once the injera has soaked up the flavors and reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Enjoy: Ethiopian Firfir is traditionally served warm. It can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by additional injera or side dishes.

Remember, the spice level can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to experiment with the recipe and make it your own!
