Kitfo — Ethiopian Minced Beef with Spiced Butter
A prized delicacy of Ethiopia, especially of the Gurage people: very finely minced lean beef gently warmed (or served raw) and dressed with niter kibbeh — spiced clarified butter — and mitmita, the fiery chilli blend. Kitfo is rich, buttery and deeply flavoured, traditionally served leb leb (lightly warmed) or tere (raw), with ayib (mild cottage cheese), gomen (greens) and injera or kocho. It's celebration food and a true Ethiopian indulgence, all about the quality of the beef and the spiced butter.
