So last night it was pouring and chilly (I write as if it's a novelty in Seattle), and neither of us were in a cookin' kinda mood, so I headed to Habesha, a lovely restaurant in downtown Seattle, for an Ethiopian takeout meal. Ethiopian food is eaten with injera, a steamed bread, instead of silverware, is highly flavored and pretty darned spicy. Here's what we had--I did take pictures but, as I discovered I am definitely not a food stylist, my pics made the food look like dog vomit. I promise, however, that it was delectable.
Missir Sambusa: Pastry rolls filled with lentils, green peppers, garlic, onion and tons of spices.
Sega Tibs: Cubes of beef sauteed with spices, onion and tomatoes
Kike: Split yellow peas with onions, garlic and turmeric (I think my teeth are permanently stained yellow from the amount of turmeric in this one!)
Mmmmmm.........
LOOOVE how you guys are diving into the culture :) There is a great Ethiopian place here in SF, in the Mission district we'll have to try next time you guys are in town!
