Home cooking attempt — Gored Gored from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Gored Gored from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting mitmita bird's eye chilli right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The richly buttery result was rewarding once I got it right.

the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. I served it with tej honey wine as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Gored Gored yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
