Ethiopian Cabbage & Vegetables served with Injera
Injera
I love the idea of a flatbread with a curry or stew and injera is the traditional Ethiopian flatbread or crêpe enjoyed with most dishes. While the idea of a three-day fermentation of the batter is ideal, the reality is most of us don’t always have that amount of time, so I’ve recreated injera my way with buckwheat flour and a touch of apple-cider vinegar to give the slightly soured fermented flavour without the wait time.

Ethiopian Cabbage & Vegetables
This dish is simple and heartwarming to enjoy as part of a shared Ethiopian-inspired meal. While it’s delicious eaten fresh, the flavours infuse really nicely overnight, making it even more delightful. If you don’t have an Ethiopian stew to eat with it, some spicy cooked lentils in a wrap would make the most delicious and nourishing lunch with an Ethiopian twist.
Serves: 6–8
