Exceptional recipe. I used a store-bought berbere mix rather than the listed one, but it still turned out fantastically. Everyone that tried it thought it was great. I will definitely be making this recipe more often if I need something simple to make.


Yay! I'm trying to get my guy to eat more veggies and legumes with me and I think he's going to love the this. Thanks for posting and happy new year!

Of course! Meat would be fine. I suggest perhaps some lamb, but beef or chicken would probably do.
