Coming from Ethiopia I get a lot of requests on how to make our traditional food. Tibs is one of our most popular dishes served all over the country and Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurants around the globe. However not all ingredients such as Berbere and Ethiopian flatbread (injera) are easily accessible abroad. Knowing this I decided to create a recipe that does not rely on these ingredients and can be made without them and be just as divine. Ingredients such as fenugreek and Niter Kibbeh (Clarified Butter) can be found at your local market and If you live in a metropolitan area with an Ethiopian community there may be a chance you can get some Injera, Otherwise this dish can be served with Bread.
