Injera

Injera is cooked at the orphanage
. Injera is the Ethiopian staple bread, its thin crepe like flat bread that the dishes such as Wots, Tibs and Fitfit are served on. To eat the dishes pieces of injera are torn off and used to scoop up mouthful. Injera is eaten daily in virtually every household, and cooking it requires considerable time and resources.

Injera is unique to Ethiopia, from its distinct taste and main ingredient the Teff cereal. Teff is the tiniest cereal and used as a staple food only in Ethiopia (in other parts of the world its associated with common grass). Teff is believed to have originated in Ethiopia between 4000 and 1000 BC. Teff seeds were discovered in a pyramid thought to date back to 3359 BC. http://www.ethiopianrestaurant.com/injera.html
