Injera forms the base for seg wat, a spicy meat stew that traditionally uses beri-beri, a very hot Ethiopian chili pepper
Dubbed “Africa’s Petra” for its astonishing rock-hewn churches, Lalibela has drawn Western visitors since the 16th century. It is hidden high in the Ethiopian highlands, and the journey is long and arduous for the thousands of pilgrims who travel there on foot. Many seek replenishment in its famous, pancake-like flatbread, injera, topped by a hot, steaming, and revitalizing stew.
