Special Beef Lega tibs

Description

Special Lega Tibs is a popular Ethiopian dish that features succulent pieces of meat, typically beef or lamb, sautéed with a blend of spices, herbs, and vegetables. The dish is known for its rich, smoky flavors and slight crispiness from being seared at high heat. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements:

• Meat: Beef or lamb is the star of the dish, usually cut into bite-sized chunks and cooked to tender perfection. The meat is often marinated with spices beforehand to intensify its flavor.
• Spices: Berbere, a traditional Ethiopian spice blend, plays a central role. It includes chili peppers, garlic, ginger, basil, korarima (Ethiopian cardamom), and other warming spices. This gives the tibs a bold and slightly spicy flavor.
• Vegetables: Commonly sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and green peppers. These ingredients provide a balance of sweetness and acidity.
• Clarified butter (Niter Kibbeh): Ethiopian clarified butter infused with spices, such as garlic, ginger, and cardamom, adds a rich, aromatic depth to the dish.
• Injera: Tibs is often served with injera, a sourdough flatbread made from teff flour. It acts as both a plate and an edible utensil to scoop up the meat and sauce
