An Introduction to Ethiopian Cuisine Ethiopian food often consists of vegetable and/or meat dishes and entrees, often prepared as a wot (thick stew). One or more servings of wot are placed upon a piece of injera, a large flatbread. One does not eat with utensils, but instead uses the injera (always with the right hand) to scoop the food into the bread. Eating food this way is traditional and shows camaraderie among your dining companions -- especially as everyone usually eats from the same plate and most Ethiopians feed each other as they dine, not just themselves. As a courtesy to the friends at your table, you may wash your hands before eating. From berbere to turmeric to ginger and garlic with many others in between, Hibir Ethiopia uses a wide range of high quality spice to craft an authentic and traditional experience. Our recipes have been developed with care from scratch and have been handed down through generations from mother to daughter. These authentic and wholesome dishes are the staple of the culture that has fostered the childhoods and growth of so many.
