Here’s a gluten-free grain that you might not have heard about. It’s called teff and it’s a staple of Ethiopian cuisine.
Ethiopians use this grain to make a delicious, sourdough flatbread called injera. If you’ve ever tasted this bread, you’ll know how well it complements other dishes served up on the Ethiopian menu such as wot, a stew that takes many different forms.
Injera is used as an edible plate and foods are placed on top of the bread. Diners simply tear off a piece of bread and roll some food inside. Teff is also used to make alcoholic beverages such as tella and katikala.
