Injera Tibs

🇪🇹 Ethiopian

High heat, big flavour: injera seared with aromatics and a shiny sauce that clings to every bite. 17 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 10 min Cook 7 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Tomato Puree2 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Green Chili3
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • Rosemary3 sprigs
  • Niter Kibbeh2 tbsp
  • Berbere1 tsp
  • Injera6 pieces

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil (niter kibbeh if you have it) in a heavy pot over medium heat and sweat the onions slowly — ten minutes, until they collapse and sweeten.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and ginger paste and stir for a minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the berbere and toast it in the oil for thirty seconds — dark, smoky, never burning.

  4. 4

    Add the Injera and turn it through the spice base until every piece is stained rust-red.

  5. 5

    Pour in a little water, cover, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the Injera is tender and the sauce is thick and brick-coloured.

  6. 6

    Finish with Niter Kibbeh and Garlic, adjust the salt, and serve with injera to scoop it all up.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
