Ingredients
Steps
Cook the onion in oil until soft, about 6 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, berbere, and tomato paste, and cook 2 minutes.
Whisk the shiro powder into the water in a separate bowl until smooth and lump-free.
Pour the shiro mixture into the pot and whisk constantly as it comes to a simmer.
Simmer 8 to 10 minutes, whisking often, until thick and smooth like a loose porridge.
Season with salt and serve with injera.
