Ingredients
- 4 pieces Injera
- 2 cups Misir wat
- 2 cups Shiro wat
- 2 cups Gomen
- 2 cups Atakilt wat
- 1.5 cups Azifa
- 1 cup Timatim fitfit
- 2 cups Salad
Steps
- Prepare the component wats and salads — misir, shiro, gomen, atakilt, azifa — keeping each in its own pot. The variety is the point.
- Lay a large fresh injera over a wide platter as the base. This is both plate and utensil.
- Arrange generous mounds of each dish in a ring on the injera, alternating colors: red lentils, golden shiro, green gomen, bright atakilt.
- Tuck the azifa and timatim fitfit between the mounds; add a simple green salad for crunch.
- Serve with extra injera rolls on the side for scooping. Eat with your right hand, mixing flavors as you go — that is the etiquette and the pleasure.
