Kitfo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kitfo (sometimes ketfo) is a dish found in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. It consists of ground raw beef marinated in mitmita (a very spicy chili powder) and niter kibbeh (a clarified butter infused with herbs and spices). Ketfo may be served alongside, or mixed with, mild cheese and cooked greens. One may eat kitfo with injera, a flatbread made from teff, although in traditional Gurage cuisine, one would use kocho, a thick bread made from the ensete plant. An ensete leaf may be used as a garnish. Kitfo is a traditional dish of Ethiopia and, though not considered a delicacy, held in high regard.
