I picked my second favorite dish, yekik watt (yellow split peas), with sides of shimbera assa (saucy
garbanzo bean patties) and fosolia (green beans and carrots), and of course plenty of injera.

garbanzo beans) 1 medium clove garlic, chopped 1-1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil for purée 2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin 3⁄4 teaspoon paprika 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon 1⁄3 - 1/2 cup sliced green onions 1/2 cup good quality breadcrumbs (see note) 3 tablespoons sesame seeds 1⁄8 teaspoon sea salt 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
