Yetsom Beyaynetu (Vegan Ethiopian Combination Platter)

[FIERI: In an Ethiopian cuisine, it all starts out with the edible flatware. Injera is the Ethiopian form of bread.]

found a delightful ethiopian cuisine restaurant with my partner and we had a lovely dinner there with some good friends last night!

Today I had Ethiopian food for the first time! The lining of the dish is a fermented flatbread called injera made from a grain called teff, which is naturally gluten free*. You use the injera to scoop the different dishes on offer.

It was delicious with lots of richly spiced flavours. Many Ethiopian dishes are vegetarian or vegan so it's a very inclusive food option. Teff is very high in fibre and many minerals too, making it a healthy choice.

*Teff is naturally gluten free, but is expensive outside of Ethiopia and is sometimes cut with barley or wheat flour in restaurants to stretch it. Always check with the restaurant beforehand if you are celiac!

The restaurant we went to was Agelgil on Calendonian Rd in London.

Im a picky eater but Ive been spending the last few years pushing myself to leave my food comfort zone and it's so rewarding but also I sound insane when I text my friends like "have you guys tried this stuff before? It's amazing!" And I'm literally just talking about Tacos

I think life is actually about scooping up spicy curries with flatbread and then popping it in your mouth like a little curry sandwich

when i last visited my parents we had georgian food for the first time and it was as good as i imagined!

Ethiopian Spris (Vegan Layered Fruit Smoothie)

"With Ethiopian and Indian fare, a blind tasting would leave even chefs unable to tell certain dishes apart. Sambusa is like samosa. Injera is like appam. Misir wot is like dal. Cic weth is like chana dal. Kik alicha is like matar ki dal. Niter kibbeh — a spiced, clarified butter similar to ghee — lends richness. Even the griddles that injera and appam are made on are similar. The list goes on. "

This is so cool! I love how the author manages to connect the cultural aspects of Ethiopia and India here. The frequency of vegetarian dishes are a clear similarity (though honestly, Ethiopian meat dishes are amongst the best things ever)
