Injera is a spongy flatbread made from teff flour, an ancient grain that dates back to the time of Jesus. It is used to garnish stews or other sauces that are traditionally served with it.
Injera and its counterpart Eritrean and Ethiopian dishes are becoming more popular in America due to their unique taste and texture. Injera is most commonly eaten as part of a meal with wat or tibs (stew). It can also be used as a wrap for meat or vegetables.

Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes.
Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes are often spicy, so injera can get a little messy if you don’t mind your cooking utensils (spoons and forks don’t work very well). In fact, there’s even a special way to eat injera: First, tear up some bread and eat whatever you eat – in this case, use it as an edible spoon for the spicy lentils called wat.
If you want to try Injera but don’t know where to start, here are some suggestions:
Injera (wot) with spicy sauce
