Shiro is the everyday comfort food of Ethiopian and Eritrean homes – finely milled chickpea flour simmered with garlic, onion and berbere into a smooth, savoury stew you scoop up with injera.
Shiro powder is chickpeas milled together with garlic, onion and spices, and the skill is in the simmering. Cooked slowly and stirred steadily, it thickens into a velvety stew that is deeply savoury without being heavy. Ours is finished with a little niter kibbeh or oil depending on how you would like it prepared.
This is the dish people from the region miss most when they are away from home, and it is also the easiest entry point for anyone new to Ethiopian food. It is naturally plant-based when prepared with oil, which makes it one of the most requested vegetarian options at our Winnipeg restaurant.
