GLOSSARY

Keye Wat: Homemade tomato sauce stewed with fresh onions, garlic, ginger root and olive oil.  This sauce is the base for many of our dishes.

Tibs: This word means “sauteed meat” or “stir fried”.  We cook beef, lamb, chicken and even eggs this way.

Alicha: This word means “mild” or “not spicy”.

Injera: Homemade thin, pancake-like, sour bread made from barley and Teff flour.  Teff is native to the northern Ethiopian Highlands.  It is high in dietary fiber and iron with some protein and calcium.

Himbasha: Homemade leavened bread flavored with honey, fenugreek, thyme, cinnamon and cardamom.

Berebere: Our homemade hot sauce comes two ways — Mitmita: Hot pepper, onions, garlic and an array of herbs and spices dried and ground into a spicy powder.  Awaze: similar to mitmita but mixed with homemade Ethiopian mustard and water.
