Living in Washington DC, we’re blessed with a plethora of Ethiopian grocery stores that we are happy to take full advantage of. =) There’s something so satisfying about being able to buy a fresh injera rather than having to make it yourself. We always buy a pack when we cook Ethiopian, but then end up with extra that we don’t want to waste. We’ve found that Timatim Fit Fit is a great use of excess injera. It’s like a healthy salad with a well-balanced spicy tangy dressing and welcome heartiness from the injera. We’ve adapted the following recipe from Cooking with Imaye to meet our tastes:
