Get out the injera and invite your family and friends over – our top five best Ethiopian recipes are ready to fill your mealtimes with rich, diverse flavor that is never dull.

  1. Injera

A pancake-like flatbread, injera is spread out on a large flat basket and topped with mounds of spicy meat stews and colorful vegetable curries. Found at every meal, injera is like bread in Europe or rice in Asia. 

  1. Wat

This Ethiopian curry will send your tastebuds straight to Nirvana thanks to its use of berbere (a spice blend made up of 10 to 15 spices and this month’s RawSpiceBar Blend). Pair it with chicken, lamb, or beef and experience why this dish is a beloved staple in Ethiopia. 

  1. Tibs

A sautéed mixture of meat and veggies, this dish is often served with carrots and potatoes, doro wat (chicken curry), and misir wat (red lentils) all heaped on top of injera

  1. Firfir

This breakfast dish will have you excited for the first meal of the day with its spicy, tangy flavor enhanced by shredded injera, spiced clarified butter, and spicy berbere powder. 

  1. Ethiopian Coffee

It may not be a meal, but it is the perfect complement to a breakfast or evening snack. The birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia offers a beverage medium in body, high in acidity, and overflowing with complex flavor notes.
