Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 onions, chopped (large onions)
  • 1/4 cup oil (canola oil)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons berbere spice mix
  • 3 ounces tomato paste (1/2 6 oz can)
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • Injera (4 pieces, torn into pieces)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (de-seeded and cut into thin strips, or other hot green pepper)
  • Salt, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cook the onions for several minutes until they start to soften and turn translucent.

  • Step 2: Add the oil. When the oil is hot add the berbere and stir.

  • Step 3: After a few minutes, add the tomato paste and cook for several more minutes.

  • Step 4: Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a bit of salt, and cook on low-medium heat until the tomatoes are thoroughly cooked. Add the water (start with 1/4 cup) and bring to a simmer. It should look like a really thick tomato soup at this point.

  • Step 5: Add the injera and stir, gently chopping the injera as you mix it in. Continue cooking until the injera has absorbed all of the liquid.

  • Step 6: Top it off with jalapenos and enjoy!

  • Note: the water used will depend upon the amount of injera you use. Start with 1/4 cup and use up to 3/4 cup
