Ethiopian cuisine is one of the most unique styles of food in Africa. The
wide array of dishes that originate from this nation offer delectable
flavors and a glimpse into the culture of the people living there.

Those trying Ethiopian food for the first time should know the most
important aspect of any Ethiopian meal is that it is always served on a
single platter, which allows everyone to share the food. These metal
dishes are typically piled high with inerja, a grain-based, spongy
flatbread that most natives eat up to three times each day. Sour in
flavor, this pancake-like bread is rich in vitamins and protein and often
serves as the only utensil on the table during a meal.

Inerja pairs well with several other Ethiopian flavors, such as the widely
popular berbere spice, which consists of ingredients like garlic, chili
powder, and cinnamon. Other favorite pairings for inerja include the
different types of fragrant wat stew, fresh timatim salata, and fit fit stew.
