Addis Ababa meets Cape Town
Our Cuisine
INJERA:
Ethiopian cuisine is traditionally served and shared on a large fermented crêpe, we call Injera. Injera is made from
a grain called Teff, native to Ethiopia, but also harvested in South Africa today. At Addis in Cape, we offer Rice and
Teff Injera, baked on a flat clay stove called a Metad. The Rice/ Teff Injera is then topped with the various Ethiopian
sauces and stews before serving. (Teff Injera is available upon request at an additional cost of R30 per piece.)
BERBERE:
The most important ingredient in all spicy Ethiopian meals is Berbere, prepared by milling dried chilies
with several herbs and spices, such as garlic, onions, ginger, cloves and cardamom.
ALICHA:
Alicha is the mild alternative to all of our dishes. Instead of using Berbere, we use mild and
flavorful turmeric that colors the food in beautiful golden yellow hues.
WOT:
This is what we call our stews and sauces in Ethiopia - generally a particularly spicy dish.
KIBE:
A clarified butter simmered in various spices such as fresh herbs, turmeric and cardamom.
After the butter is spiced, it is then strained, cooled and used in the preparation of all our
Non-Vegan dishes. Kibe provides our dishes with a beautiful aroma and unique taste that’s
rich in flavor.
MITMITA:
A homemade spice blend of dried bird’s eye chili with black cardamon and traditional
herbs.
SHIRO:
A sauce-like stew made from a homemade blend of dried split peas ground together with
an array of spices including cardamon and Berbere.
MESOB:
A traditional handcrafted basket made from palm straw, used as a table when serving your meal.
VEGANISM IN ETHIOPIAN CUISINE
Vegan dishes are very familiar to the Ethiopian Orthodox people who are accustomed to a minimum of 180 fasting
days a year. When fasting, Orthodox Ethiopians adopt a vegan diet and this dedication is thoroughly reflected in our
delightful vegan options served here at Addis in Cape.
