gomen wat is kale, and is the green one, and doro wat is the red one, and is chicken and eggs. the hardest part, seriously, was finding fenugreek.

When it comes to less common spices and herbs, Penzey's Spices in Uptown is your friend. I know they have fenugreek there - I checked for Margo B recently.

[spiderplanet]

Please tell me that you made that injera yourself and that you have the recipe.

[kalmn]

sadly, no. i got the injera at piazza market, which is by snelling and university.

[spiderplanet]

Ah, well. I can try an online recipe. I am only dubious because the intertoobs have misled me in the past.

[laramie]

Mmm. Looks good!

[kalmn]

mmm. if you want to do the real stuff, you're going to need teff, which will require a trip to a store where they'll sell injera ready made. i point this out in the interests of efficiency. ;)

[spiderplanet]

Yeah. You've convinced me.

The SLP Cub has Teff flour in the organics section, but I think I might prefer to just buy bread the first few times. If it gets used enough, then I'll try to make my own.

And that grocery store is very close to my daughter's apartment. I end up shopping at that Rainbow anyway, so it would just be a little detour...

[littlebutfierce]

Not necessarily: health food stores will carry teff flour!

(Unless you are in the UK *cries*)

[daedala]

Yum!

[marydell]

Check you out, you cook-person! Very cool.

[figment]

Mmm. That looks delicious!
I have fenugreek in my spice cupboard, but have never made any kind of wat! I would love your recipes for those.

[serene]

Awesome! Two of our fave dishes. Did you make the injera? If yes, recipe please, because I've had 2 failed attempts so far.

[merielle]

that looks DELISH. go, you!

[kalmn]

yeah, monstersocks went to penzeys after lunds failed us entirely.

[kalmn]

it was amazing! and easier than i figured!

those are what we used. it's a little unclear on how to "just brown" the onions, and the temperatures later on once the chicken is in is also unclear, but i suspect you know the former and for the latter we left it where it was.

[kalmn]

nope, bought the injera. there's a pretty good size ethiopian/somali/oromo community around here, so i can actually buy injera within walking distance of *me*.

Oh man. I am drooling all over my keyboard.
