Firfir is a home-style Ethiopian dish made by sautéing torn injera in a spicy berbere sauce. Often eaten for breakfast, it is hearty and satisfying as the bread soaks up the seasoned sauce.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the onion

9 min

Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter over medium heat for 8 minutes. Add the berbere and sauté for 1 more minute.

2

Cook the sauce

10 min

Add the tomato and water and cook over low heat for 8–10 minutes. Adjust the salt to taste.

3

Add the injera

5 min

Add the torn injera to the sauce and stir well so it absorbs the sauce. Heat over low heat for 4–5 minutes.

4

Serve

Serve hot.

Reminder

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Check the injera and berbere labels for allergen information; their ingredients can vary.
