Ethiopia, how we love you! Injera is a traditional flatbread made from teff, a teeny tiny grain that packs a lot of nutrition. I sliced it into bite-sized pieces and packed it with a thermos of hot split pea alecha (stew) and a mixed vegetable wat (spicy stew, but not really too spicy). Shmoo ferretted out the last fruit cup in the house, tucked away way back on a pantry shelf, and put it in his lunch box -- mandarin oranges in light syrup. We're trying to cut out refined sugar for Lent, so you can see his desperation mounting here...Verdict: Shmoo's response to the vegetables surprised me the most: "These are the best vegetables I've ever had!" Uh, really?? I keep trying to figure out what I did right; must be the hearty dose of nitter kebbeh (spice-infused oil). 5 stars.
