Here's another Southern Ethiopia gem... Kocho! Probably seen more often accompanying Kitfo (Ethiopian beef tartare) as a flatbread, but this is also how I love it, fluffy, fibrous and drenched in Kibe (clarified herbed butter). I cooked this with my Mum back home last year, it's a star dish and complemented with meat (on the bone ❤️) and Gomen (similar to kale or collard green). It's unique, nutritious and delicious. Enjoyed by many regions and its people in Southern Ethiopia but a staple for the people of Sidama. Kocho is made from scraping the trunk of the magic Enset tree (false banana tree) and then buried and fermented in the ground, sometimes for up to a year or more, it's a labour of love and a way of life. ✊🏽
Clocks changed last night and London is starting to get cold! Makes us miss the 6 months we spent in Ethiopia after we left Hong Kong... eating this and many other nourishing home cooked dishes. This is Bulla, a Southern Ethiopia master piece, a thick porridge created from dehydrating the pulp extract from the stems of a fundamental food source, the Enset tree (false banana tree). Thanks mum. 🙏🏾❤️
