Fit-fit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fit-fit is an Eritrean and Ethiopian food typically served for breakfast (though it can be served with other meals). It is generally made with tesmi and sometimes also with berbere, in which case it is called fir-fir. In some cases various oils or butters are substituted for tesmi; however, the difference in taste is notable. There are two major varieties of fit-fit, injera (or taita) and kitcha (or kita).
[edit] Injera fit-fit
Injera fit-fit (also taita fit-fit in Tigrinya) is a combination of shredded injera, berbere, onions and tesmi. Variations on this basic recipe are common, in which the name of the additional item is used as a prefix. For instance, if one were to add shiro, the resulting dish would be called shiro fit-fit.
Injera fit-fit be eaten with either a spoon (which is not typical in Eritrean or Ethiopian cuisine) or another piece of injera.
[edit] Kitcha fit-fit
Kitcha fit-fit (or kita fit-fit) is a combination of shredded kitcha (or kita), berbere, and tesmi. Kitcha fit-fit is sometimes eaten with plain yogurt.
Unlike most Eritrean and Ethiopian foods, kitcha fit-fit is eaten with a utensil (usually a spoon). A dry variation is called kitcha (or kita) fir-fir.
