Recipes From Eritrea



Eritrean cuisine is regionally varied. Stews made with beef, mutton, or chicken are common, and they are usually served with injera, a thick, pancake-like sourdough bread. Diners sit on the floor around low tray-like tables and stews and other dishes are placed on top of the injera.
