Home cooking attempt — Tibs from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Tibs 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 deep and earthy result was rewarding once I got it right.

Ethiopian communal eating with no utensils from a shared injera is a social and hygienic tradition. I served it with Ethiopian coffee ceremony as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Tibs yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
