Ethiopia!

You know what's really fun?  Eating with your hands.

You know what's even more fun?  Eating with your tablecloth.

Especially when your tablecloth. Is actually one huge sheet of bread.

And with that.  I present to you.  Regional Recipes: Ethiopia!

Ethiopian cuisine consists of spicy vegetable and meat dishes, usually in the form of stews, that are typically eaten with a spongy sourdough bread called injera.  The flavor profile is very similar to that of Indian food, with a bit of Middle Eastern influence thrown in.  Basically. It's delicious.

Stumped for ideas?  Here are two sites with tons of Ethiopian recipes:

    YAY!!! I love Ethiopian food (even though I've only had it like twice) - this is just the kick in the butt I need to make some at home. And it's so cheap too - perfect for my budget. Wooooooot!

    Been there, done that, and loved it. Too bad there are no Ethiopian restaurants here in Eugene, Oregon, though.

    I purposely listed this under Regional Recipes, rather than your blog so people would find out about it. It is such a good group, let's let others have the opportunity to join.

    I still have not made my recipe even though I have had it. We have been living on light food and my pick is just not appealing, in the heat. I am still trying to get it done. Maybe, I should look for another recipe. I know.
