A closer look at each part
- Minced beef
- The finely chopped beef is the main part of the dish. Its small pieces create a different texture from the larger pieces used in tibs.
- Mitmita
- Mitmita is an Ethiopian chilli spice used to season the beef. Ask our team about the spice level if you prefer a milder flavour.
- Spiced clarified butter
- Ethiopian spiced clarified butter, known as niter kibbeh, adds a distinctive buttery flavour to the seasoned beef.
- Gomen
- Gomen is the cooked leafy-green accompaniment. Its fresh, savoury flavour complements the seasoned beef.
- Ayib
- Ayib is Ethiopian cottage cheese. Its soft, crumbly texture offers a gentle contrast to the seasoned beef and cooked greens.
