Fit-fit, also known as Ethiopian bread salad, is a delightful and flavorful dish made with torn pieces of injera (Ethiopian flatbread) tossed in a zesty dressing. This salad is a popular breakfast or brunch option in Ethiopian cuisine and is perfect for using up leftover injera.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons niter kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter) or regular butter
  • 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional for spice)
  • 1 teaspoon berbere spice blend, or to taste
  • 4-6 pieces of leftover injera, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish
