kilbi

Kilbi is a traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean dish. It is a stew typically made from finely chopped beef or lamb, often cooked with onions, garlic, and niter kibbeh, which is a spiced clarified butter. Variations of kilbi can include the addition of other spices such as berbere, a chili pepper-based spice blend, or turmeric. The meat is usually cooked until tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Kilbi is commonly served with injera, a sourdough flatbread that is a staple of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. The injera is used to scoop up the kilbi, making it a communal and interactive dining experience. It is a popular dish for everyday meals as well as special occasions.
