When the Best Part of Your Meal Is the Plate
For centuries Ethiopian people have been mixing the sand-size grains of teff with water, fermenting it for a couple days and then baking up spongy injera bread. Traditionally, it’s made on a heated clay mitad, but electric cookers now are widely used. The gluten-free teff is expensive, so you’ll often find injera made with wheat or barley mixed in, though more American farmers are growing teff in response to rising demand.
