Quanta Firfir with Spiced Beef
Ingredients
  • 2 red onions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups water, divided
  • 14 ounces dried beef
  • 2 tablespoons Ethiopian berbere seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Ethiopian kibbeh (spiced clarified butter)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 pieces injera (Ethiopian bread)
Instructions
1
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the onions, allowing them to cook until they begin to develop a rich brown color, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Next, add the vegetable oil and garlic paste to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the aroma of the garlic is released into the air, roughly 5 minutes.
3
Following this, introduce the tomatoes to the saucepan and continue cooking until they have softened and become more palatable, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
4
Subsequently, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, dried beef, and berbere seasoning into the saucepan, then lower the heat to a more moderate level and allow the flavors to meld together, approximately 10 minutes.
5
Continuing with this process, periodically add 1/3 cup of water to the saucepan every few minutes until the beef has become tender and the sauce has thickened, taking around 20 minutes.
6
Finally, stir in the kibbeh and salt to complete the dish.
7
To serve, take 1 piece of injera and tear it into bite-sized pieces before gently incorporating them into the sauce.
