A Wide Choice of Authentic Ethiopian Dishes
A touch of history about Ethiopian coffee
Ethiopian history claims that a local goatherd, Kaldi, first discovered coffee and its magical benefits around 850 AD. Legend has it that he discovered his goats eating the coffee beans from the trees and dancing wildly. When Kaldi presented the benefits to a monk, the latter threw them into the fire and proclaimed that this 'magical' effect was the work of the devil. The beans began to burn, and the whole room was filled with the smell of freshly roasted coffee. The original name for coffee, Kaffa, came from the region in southwest Ethiopia where coffee was first discovered in the wild. Unlike almost every other coffee country, coffee trees here grow naturally.

INJERA - FREE WITH EVERY MAIN DISH
Injera is traditionally eaten in Ethiopia and some other East African countries and is a staple of the local cuisine. Flour, preferably teff flour, is mixed with water and the batter is left to ferment for a few days like sourdough. This gives it a slightly sour taste.
Injera is eaten with the right hand. A piece of injera is accompanied by vegetables or meat. You make a package of it and put it in your mouth. Because of the spongy structure, the sauce is optimally absorbed, so every bite is a feast for your taste buds.
COFFEE
200 grams of Ethiopian coffee, roasted and ground by Abyssinia in a sturdy, resealable container.
