30 Ethiopian Food Recipes

Ethiopian cooking can be heavy on meat — but the east African country’s cuisine is also full of delicious and super-satisfying dishes that are perfect for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten and lactose-free eaters.

Ethiopian food is probably best known for the spongy sourdough flatbread called injera, which serves as the “spoon” for lentil, bean, meat, and vegetable sauces piled on top.

Part of what makes Ethiopian food perfect for so many diets is that there's always a "fasting" (or animal-free) option: Many Ethiopians are Orthodox Christians and traditionally eat vegan on Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as other special days.
Outside of the capital, your food options are more limited. The major tourist destinations usually have good - some very good - western fare, but in the more remote areas, injera with various meat, vegetables, and "wot" will be your primary option. Various pasta dishes are also widely available.
Bottled mineral water, sparkling and still, is available throughout the country. In most towns an assortment of fresh-squeezed juices or smoothies are available. Home to a surprising number of breweries, Ethiopia boasts some very good beers. Ethiopian wine is sweet for many foreigners' taste, but if you enjoy a drink now and then, you should definitely try "tej," a, home-made honey wine found throughout the country.
