Ethiopian Bean Salad Recipes

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.
• Make the siga tibs: Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add the steak and season with salt. Cook until nicely browned, or 7-8 minutes.
• 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.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Wash and trim the beets, and simmer in a medium saucepan for about 35 - 45 minutes (depending on size), or until tender. Remove the beets from the liquid and remove skins with a paper towel. Cut into bite sized pieces.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, gently simmer the potatoes for 20 - 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes, and let them dry out a little in the warm pot.
• 3. While the beets and potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and jalapeño, and place them in a large serving bowl with the lemon juice and peanut oil. When the potatoes have dried off a little, add them (still warm) to the onion mixture, and gently combine. Add the beets, and stir through until everything is a lovely pink shade.
• 4. Toast the yellow mustard seeds just until they start popping, then pour them over the salad, along with the salt and fenugreek powder. Stir well to combine.
• 5. This can be made a day or two in advance. Keep tightly covered in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• 1. Put all vegetables in a salad bowl.
• 2. Pour lemon juice and oil over ingredients and stir to mix. Add salt to taste.
• 3. Line each plate with torn lettuce leaves and add a generous scoop of the salad.
