Using Flax Seed, Meal & Oil in Ethiopian Cuisine In homes across northern Africa, sharing food from a common plate signifies loyalty and
friendship. In traditional Ethiopian cooking, injera, a fermented pancake-style flatbread made
with the grain teff, is placed in the center of the table with a variety of dishes arranged artfully
around it and pieces of the spongy flatbread are then torn off and eaten with each bite of
the other foods. Although in Ethiopia it is traditional to eat with oneís hands, weíll be using
silverware to sample all of Nibretís amazing vegetarian dishes, including garlic-ginger lentils,
raw vegetable salad with peanut dressing, injera, and a spicy tomato-flax sauce that brings all the
flavors together. Students should be aware that Nibretís recipes include healthy amounts of garlic,
ginger, cardamom, dried chili peppers and other exotic spices, and dishes run about 3-4 on a
spiciness scale of 1-5. As a special treat, Nibret will roast and grind fresh Ethiopian coffee to be
served with her special fruit bread. You need not be of African heritage to benefit from the health
information provided in this classÖ but you must pre-register to ensure your place in class! NOTE SPECIAL SUNDAY DATE AND TIME: |
