For when you’re looking for something to grill on the BBQ or trying to use that specialty piece of equipment in the back of tour pantry.
Combining Ethiopian-inspired flavors with a burrito is might not be on every Mexican food menu. Or, well, let’s be honest here, any menu that I have ever seen or heard of… ever!?? But that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be! And this black lentil burrito […]
I’m never entirely sure if I’m going to post nachos. Nachos are my cheat meal. They’re what I make tired at the end of the day after work. Probably in the dark in the middle of the night! They’re not necessarily something that I’m proud […]
Step aside Canadian bacon and pineapple. Ethiopian black lentils and bananas are my sweet and savory obsession this week! I know that this might sound like a rather bizarre combination, but really we do things like this all of the time. Sweet and savory elements […]
This black lentil salad recipe is an amalgam of cooking dilemmas or curiosities. I was thinking about making a vegetarian Doro Wat. Doro Wat is an Ethiopian chicken stew with hardboiled eggs, berbere, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter), and sometimes tomato paste. Which isn’t quite […]

Ethiopian salmon is far from a traditional meal. Salmon are more commonly found in the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. And certainly aren’t as widely associated with a landlocked country in the horn of Africa! But I grew up in Oregon and first found a […]
I very much enjoy a traditional Ethiopian plate. It’s great to get everyone together over a communal group of dishes and injera. Injera is an Ethiopian flatbread made out of teff. You tend to eat it with your hands and rip off pieces of injera […]
This sautéed spinach recipe is a take on Ethiopian Gomen Wat. Ordinarily, Gomen Wat consists of stewed collard greens. But I’m not particularly fond of collard greens! They’re bitter, acidic, and have a similar texture to kale. Some people are fond of this. And, to […]
