Anjero (Ethiopian Flatbread)

Method

Anjero Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine teff flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the dry ingredients and add cooking oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Cook Anjero

    Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough into small balls, flatten each ball, and place on the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.

Vegetable Stew Preparation

  1. 7

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 8

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add diced carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 9

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 10

    Season Stew

    Add ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well and let simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

  5. 11

    Finish with Spinach

    Add chopped spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.
