One of my favorite places to go out to dinner is an Ethiopian restaurant here in town. I really love them. However, there is a lot of oil in their food. Restaurants do that though, salt and oil are things that amp up delicious. I don't blame them. I get it. I wanted to recreate Ethiopian at home with a lot less oil.
The beans were pretty easy. The injera. Ah, that was a bit of a challenge. That report coming soon.
