USEFUL INFORMATION

East African cuisine

We have collected some questions and terms that we are asked about. We are happy to answer your questions on site.

Injera

Injera (Amharic and Tigrinya: እንጀራ ənǧära [ɨnd͡ʒǝra]; also: Enjera, Injerra or Injira) is a soft, leavened flatbread on teff flour. It is traditionally eaten in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The flour is mixed with water to form a dough that has to ferment for a few days. Soft flatbreads are then baked from it on hot clay plates. The surface contains many visible air pores, which makes Injera suitable for absorbing sauces.

Berbere

It is a hot mix of spices. The preparation of the mixture is not subject to a uniform recipe, but the essential ingredients are chili pepper, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, cloves, coriander seeds, allspice, ajwain and dried rue fruits.
Berbere is not only used for cooking, but can also be made into a paste called Awaze with water and wine, which is served as a table seasoning.

How do you eat?

The right hand is used to eat. The injera replaces the cutlery and at the same time represents the side dish or bread. You simply tear off small pieces of the flatbread, use it to grab a piece of the meat or vegetable preparation and bring it to your mouth.

For reasons of hygiene, please wash your hands beforehand. Of course, you can also eat with cutlery.
