Dish
Tibs
Tibs is a flavorful and spicy dish that is made with a variety of meats, including beef, lamb, and chicken. The meat is marinated in a mixture of spices and then sautéed with onions, garlic, and peppers. Vegetables such as tomatoes and green beans are also added to the dish. Tibs is typically served with injera, a sourdough flatbread that is used to scoop up the meat and vegetables. The dish is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine and is often served at special occasions such as weddings and holidays.
Origins and history
Tibs is a traditional Ethiopian dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the city of Harar, which is located in eastern Ethiopia. The dish has since spread throughout the country and is now a staple in Ethiopian cuisine.
Dietary considerations
Tibs is a high-protein dish that is suitable for most diets. However, it is important to note that injera is made with teff flour, which is a type of grain that contains gluten. Therefore, Tibs is not suitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
Variations
There are many variations of Tibs, including Kitfo Tibs, which is made with raw beef that is marinated in spices and then sautéed. Another variation is Awaze Tibs, which is made with a spicy sauce that is added to the meat and vegetables.
Presentation and garnishing
Tibs is typically served on a large platter with injera on the bottom and the meat and vegetables on top. The dish is often garnished with fresh herbs and spices such as parsley and paprika.
Tips & Tricks
To make the dish more flavorful, marinate the meat overnight in a mixture of spices and vinegar. Sauté the meat and vegetables separately to ensure that they are cooked evenly.
Side-dishes
Injera is typically served with Tibs, but other side dishes such as lentil stews and vegetable dishes can also be served.
Drink pairings
Tibs pairs well with Ethiopian beer and honey wine.
