Shiro

Shiro is a homogenous stew whose primary ingredient is powdered chickpeas or broad bean meal. It is often prepared with the addition of minced onions, garlic and depending upon regional variation; ground ginger or chopped tomatoes and chili-peppers. Shiro is usually served atop injera, however, it can be cooked in shredded taita and eaten with a spoon, this version would be called shiro fit-fit.

Shiro is a part of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. It is a favorite during the Lent and Ramadan seasons. It is a vegetarian food, however, there is a variation which includes tesmi (a spiced, clarified butter) that makes it non-vegan.
