I have one last Ethiopian stew for you: the Ye'Miser Wat (Spicy Red Lentil Stew) that I served as a part of my Ethiopian dinner, seen here at the
bottom of the injera platter, along with the Ye'Takelt Allecha (Gingery Root Vegetables), Ye'Abesha Gomen (Mild Collard Greens), Lemony Arugula Salad in the centre, and a wee blob of spicy hot Berbere paste at the top.

Teff flour is a very important food grain in Ethiopia, where it is used to make a wonderful bread by the
name of injera.
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.
If you don't have an underground
network of injera - selling delis in your area, here are instructions for making it yourself.
Food is piled on a large
round of injera on a tray in the middle of the table and different foods are served directly onto the injera.
The diners eat by tearing off
bits of injera, and rolling the food inside.
