Ingredients
- 250 g Injera (teff-based fermented flatbread)
- 150 g Miser Wat (red lentil stew)
- 180 g Atakilt (stewed cabbage, carrots, and potato)
- 200 g Gomen (collard greens sautéed with garlic and ginger)
- 120 g Shiro Wat (chickpea flour stew)
Method
- 01Prepare the Miser Wat: Simmer red lentils with berbere, garlic, and onions until creamy and thick.
- 02Prepare the Shiro Wat: Whisk chickpea flour into a base of sautéed onions, ginger, and berbere, simmering until rich and smooth.
- 03Prepare the Atakilt: Sauté cabbage, carrots, and potatoes with turmeric and ginger until tender but still holding their shape.
- 04Prepare the Gomen: Sauté fresh chopped collard greens with plenty of garlic, ginger, and a touch of niter kibbeh (clarified spiced butter) until vibrant and soft.
- 05Plating: Lay a large, fresh piece of tangy, bubbly injera on a wide communal platter. Arrange small, distinct piles of the warm Miser Wat, Shiro Wat, Atakilt, and Gomen in a circular pattern on top of the bread. Serve immediately, using extra pieces of injera to scoop up each flavorful component with your hands, savoring the contrast between the spicy stews and the earthy, fermented bread.
