Ethiopian cuisine tradition has it that citizens become vegans on certain days: every Wednesday and Friday, for instance, as well as longer periods of up to seven weeks. This has led to a rich tradition of vegan dishes which we are keen to share with you.
Ethiopian cuisine is not meant to be spicy for its own sake, it simply strives for a balance between dishes rich in spices along with fresh salads and mild dishes on the other hand. The aim is for a more complex flavour in which gentle notes of cardamom, tumeric or ginger slowly become noticeable.
