Ethiopian food: Gurage cultural food Ayib (How to make Ayib from local cheese)

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and dairy-free.

lemon juice

🥗Healthier: lime juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lime juice offers a similar acidity with a different flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable while still providing fat.

Add 5 liters of cow milk into a pot and wait for 5 or 6 days until it becomes yogurt.

Separate the string from the yogurt for several hours and separate the butter out of it.

Put the milk over a very low power oven and wait for 1 or more hours until the local cheese (Ayib) separates on top.

Take the separated cheese and add oil, butter, red pepper, and salt, then stir well.
