Shiro Fitfit

An Ethiopian lunch built around injera and shiro powder — on the table in 15 minutes. At 280 calories and 12g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Injera
• 1/2 cup Shiro powder
• 1/2 Red onion
• 1 tbsp Berbere
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1.5 cups Vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Steps

1. Tear the injera into bite-size pieces. Whisk the shiro powder with cold stock into a smooth slurry.
2. Soften the diced onion in oil 5 minutes; add the berbere and garlic for 1 minute.
3. Pour in the shiro slurry, whisking constantly; simmer 8 minutes until thick and creamy.
4. Fold in the injera pieces and toss until every piece is coated. Rest 3 minutes so the bread drinks up the sauce.
5. Finish with lemon juice and serve hot. Leftover shiro's best second act.
