SIGA TIBS AND ETHIOPIAN SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the Ethiopian salad: In a large bowl, combine the garlic, lemon juice, tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño. Season with salt, the olive oil, and pepper. Toss well.
• Add the lettuce and toss again.

• Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter and let it melt, then add the jalapeño and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Serve the salad and siga tibs with injera bread and your desired accompaniments.

FOSSOLIA (ETHIOPIAN-STYLE GREEN BEANS)

Steps:

• Place green beans in a large bowl, cover with hot water and let soak for at least 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomato and cook, turning frequently, until blackened in several spots, 8 to 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and core the tomato. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and cook, stirring, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and cook, stirring and adding another tablespoon of water as needed to prevent sticking, until the onion is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the green beans to the pan along with the tomato puree, rosemary, makulaya (or basil and thyme), salt and cumin. Cook, stirring often, until the green beans are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
