Ingredients(5)

Barley flour (dry)90 g
Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter)10 g
Almonds, sliced and toasted12 g
Honey (for drizzle)14 g
Whey or yogurt (low-fat)100 g

Instructions

1

Bring 300ml of water to a gentle boil in a medium pot. Gradually whisk in the barley flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, using a wooden spoon. Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring vigorously as the porridge thickens into a dense, smooth paste.

2

Once the mixture is glossy and pulls away from the edges of the pot, turn it out onto a serving plate. Using the back of a wet spoon, shape the porridge into a mound and create a deep, wide well in the center.

3

Pour the melted niter kibbeh into the center well. Spoon the yogurt or whey into the well alongside the butter. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top for texture. Finish by drizzling the honey in a concentric circle around the well. Serve immediately while steaming hot, using a spoon to scoop pieces of the porridge into the spiced butter and honey center.
