Ingredients
  • 18.7 g barley flour
  • 300 ml water
  • 0.25 tsp table salt
  • 4.7 g niter kibbeh
  • 452.1 g plain low fat yogurt
  • 0.5 tsp berbere seasoning
  • 12 g sliced almonds
  • 14 g honey
Method
  1. 01Bring 300 ml of water and salt to a gentle boil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  2. 02Gradually whisk in the dry barley flour, stirring constantly with a heavy wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming.
  3. 03Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring vigorously as the porridge thickens into a dense, smooth paste. The genfo is fully cooked when it becomes glossy and pulls away cleanly from the edges of the pot.
  4. 04Turn the cooked genfo out onto a serving dish. Using the back of a moistened spoon, shape it into a smooth mound and create a wide, deep well in the very center.
  5. 05Pour the melted niter kibbeh into the well, sprinkle in the berbere seasoning, and spoon the plain low-fat yogurt alongside the warm butter.
  6. 06Scatter the toasted sliced almonds over the mound and finish by drizzling honey in a concentric circle around the rim. Serve immediately while steaming hot.
