Ethiopian cuisine is a vibrant and communal culinary tradition, characterized by its use of unique spices and staple ingredients like teff and injera. Central to Ethiopian meals are richly flavored stews such as doro wat and shiro, seasoned with berbere spice blend and niter kibbeh, a spiced clarified butter. The cuisine emphasizes communal dining, with meals typically served on a large platter and shared by hand, using injera to scoop up various dishes. Ethiopian food reflects the country's cultural heritage and social practices, often accompanied by traditional beverages like tej and celebrated through elaborate coffee ceremonies.
