Injera — Ethiopian Sourdough Flatbread
The soft, spongy sourdough flatbread at the heart of every Ethiopian and Eritrean meal: a naturally fermented teff batter poured onto a hot griddle and cooked on one side until it sets into a tangy, pliable, holey pancake. Injera is plate, utensil and bread all at once — you tear off pieces to scoop up stews (wot) and vegetables spread over a communal platter. Its slight sourness and airy 'eyes' come from days of wild fermentation.
