Shiro

Cultural Context

Shiro is a staple dish in Ethiopian cuisine, originating from the use of ground chickpeas or lentils. Traditionally enjoyed during fasting periods, it embodies the communal spirit of Ethiopian meals, often served with injera. Today, shiro is appreciated globally, with variations that may include different spices or additional vegetables.
