Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Injera

    Tear the Injera into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the torn Injera pieces to the skillet, along with the Erta Ale sauce, berbere spice, and chopped herbs. Stir well to combine everything, ensuring the Injera is well-coated with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Season

    Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired. This dish is best enjoyed with toasted Hambasha on the side.
