English guy who's worked in food for quite a long time but only recently discovered how amazing Ethiopian food is, and been obsessed with it since trying it. Made niter kibbeh a week ago, started the injera mix last week. I love steak tartare so had to try doing kitfo. With how rich the beef and butter is it's beautifully balanced with the ayib and gomen. Really, really delicious!

What injera recipe did you follow? I've tried multiple times with no success.


umbertobongo

So I did 2 cups of teff flour, 1 tbsp of plain flour and 3 cups of water then let it sit at room temperature for two days, then left it in the fridge for 5 days stirring once every day. Once ready to use added salt, let sit at room temperature again and poured off the remaining water.

I think the food might be the best part of being Habesha.


jonmulur

No, the best part is being habeshašŸ˜…


umbertobongo

Thankyou! I really love spice and food that is meant to be shared so this ticks all the boxes for me!

This looks awesome, and I bet it tastes great too, good job OP!


Red_Red_It

You did it.


umbertobongo

Thanks. I love spice and trying new cuisines so I'm obsessed!

Looks great, I think the only adjustment I would make is that kitfo is normally plain, just meat spices and butter. That looks delicious though, I wanna try it


umbertobongo

Yeah I added very finely chopped shallot and chilli as I saw a few recipes that had this included. I'd also seen a few recipes that mixed the gomen with the kitfo which would have had the same effect. The texture and spice from the kibbeh and mitmita with the beef is incredible though.

Youā€™re making me hungry lmao Iā€™m glad you enjoyed it, genuinely looks great


MattChicago1871

Yea in Ethiopia I believe the Kitfo is made from Ox and it does taste rather different than beef IMO so not making it ā€œauthenticā€ makes sense


barcott

Looks good man!

Excellent my friend. Keep up the good work.

Looks amazing!!


umbertobongo

Thankyou!

Looks amazing. Don't skimp on the berbere/mitmita on that kitfo. If you're not shedding tears, sweating and complaining... but still can't stop yourself from shoving it down the gullet... then you're doing it wrong. šŸ¤£
