What’s on
this plate?
Yetsom Beyaynetu is a selection of Ethiopian vegetarian stews served together on injera.

The exact combination may vary, so ask the Abyssinia Selo team which dishes are included in the current serving.
A closer look at each part
- Smooth orange stew
- Large serving at the centre The centre holds a smooth, spoonable orange stew. It resembles shiro, a stew made from ground pulses. Ask the team to confirm the exact dish.
- Thicker orange stews
- Around the central serving These portions appear coarser than the centre stew and may be lentil or other pulse preparations. Try each separately and ask about the ingredients and spice level.
- Cooked leafy greens
- Above and below the centre The dark leafy portions add a savoury vegetable flavour and a different texture from the smooth stews.
- Yellow potatoes
- On the upper and lower sides The larger yellow pieces appear to be potato. Their soft texture offers a familiar vegetable bite alongside the stews.
- Yellow cabbage
- Towards the top and left side The yellow vegetable strips appear to be cooked cabbage. Try them with injera or alongside a little stew.
- Beetroot
- Purple portions on both sides The dark purple vegetable appears to be beetroot. It adds an earthy flavour and a contrasting colour to the platter.
- Salad and red condiment
- Near the edges of the platter The salad appears to include fresh vegetables such as lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Ask what the red condiment contains and how spicy it is.
- Injera
- The folded portions and base The soft, slightly tangy Ethiopian flatbread is used to scoop the stews and vegetables. Tear a small piece and enjoy it with your preferred portion.
