Warning. This might make you hungry...

After much searching we FINALLY got the opportunity to attend an ETHIOPIAN cooking class. The options in Portland are quite limited so we took ourselves for the weekend to Seattle and as a bonus got to attend a Mariners game too.  During the class we learned a lot about Ethiopian culture and made some super delicious food.  The main ingredient in Ethiopian cooking is berbere: a combination of many spices and dried ground chilies.  It was said that berbere is to Ethiopia as curry is to India.  Megan's favorite was the misser wot or red lentil stew and Jer really liked the beef tibs which is basically an African version of steak stir fry.

Check. It. Out.










Looking forward to making many family Ethiopian meals in our home!
