I have a question for you....Looks really great!!... I have a question for you... I lived in Ethopia as a kid in the late '70s. I remember this mouth watering fried fish I have had in Addis multiple times... I cannot remember the type of fish... if I am not mistaken they fried it with the scales. Can you tell me what fish it is and what oil is used for frying traditionally... I know this was a popular fish in the restaurants in Addis AbbabaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-16513926308739440212010-04-17T10:40:02.373-04:002010-04-17T10:40:02.373-04:00Thank you, Sheila!

We went to Goshen for Easter, think that may be near Hartford. We live in Rhinebeck in Dutchess County. <br /><br />BTW, I put my stuffed tripe on my own blog if you want to see it. Yours looks great, though! I want to try that version!<br /><br />JenniferJennifer Brizzihttp://www.tripesoup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-86677231326728278802010-04-16T17:34:41.689-04:002010-04-16T17:34:41.689-04:00Jennifer, we've got an Ethiopian restaurant ve...Jennifer, we've got an Ethiopian restaurant very close by, so I tend to just buy it. You can also mail order it from http://www.ethiopianspices.com/html/products.asp?ItemID=1029<br /><br />My girls don't care much for that injera, but it makes great fitfit dishes, and you can't beat delivery to your door. There are other places that will do mail order, as well, I believe. I should try to find them and get them up on the sidebar. Where in the HV are you? I grew up outside of Troy, so know the upper part of the HV well.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943426439715637898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-82128977006757145882010-04-16T11:49:16.846-04:002010-04-16T11:49:16.846-04:00Oops, I didn't notice your link to the injera ...Oops, I didn't notice your link to the injera recipe--that looks like a good one!<br /><br />JenniferJennifer Brizzihttp://www.jenniferbrizzi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-64847453514879240382010-04-16T11:44:47.167-04:002010-04-16T11:44:47.167-04:00Hi Sheila,
Can you tell me if you make or buy you...Hi Sheila,<br /><br />Can you tell me if you make or buy your injera? I don't have a ready source so I have to make it myself, fermenting teff flour batter for three days. It's fun, though! <br /><br />The recipe I use is close to the one in Ethiopian Cooking in the American Kitchen by Tizita Ayele--excellent book!! Do you have that one?<br /><br />My own Ethiopian child is an eight-year-old boy and he doesn't like spicy food as much as he did when he arrived at age 20 months, sorry to tell you!<br /><br />I grew up in Vermont and now live in the Hudson Valley.<br /><br />Hope to talk to you about Ethiopian food, sounds like you are passionate about it, like I am!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JenniferJennifer Brizzihttp://www.jenniferbrizzi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-75195580211879940672010-04-15T15:27:25.744-04:002010-04-15T15:27:25.744-04:00Regina, I just used a nonstick pan and a cup of oi...Regina, I just used a nonstick pan and a cup of oil. Once I put it in the pan, I also didn't move the fish at all until it was ready to turn. Other than that, I have no idea how I got it not to stick! <br /><br />Staci, I'm actually Texas-born and upstate NY raised, but come from Boston/Cape Cod stock. I live just north of Hartford, so I wouldn't be surprised if our paths crossed one day! <br /><br />Katy, they're freaky. Really. They, too, have sometimes cried that the berbere is too hot, yet they'll keep eating it. AD was taking a bite of the tripe, panting, complaining it was too hot, then going in for more. They'll also try anything, as evidence by the stuffed tripe. I hope to keep their palates adventurous!!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943426439715637898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-78254180819464136372010-04-15T14:57:25.398-04:002010-04-15T14:57:25.398-04:00You're a NE girl huh?

I am tempted to do that, but then ruin it by cutting it up, added tomato and cilanto and lime juice and making a fish taco. :)scooping it uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801475653537826888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-56304494802392197512010-04-13T14:35:19.519-04:002010-04-13T14:35:19.519-04:00how do you get the fish not to stick to the pan? e...how do you get the fish not to stick to the pan? every time i try to fry fish the coating just sticks and the fish falls apart and it makes me cry.<br />There was an article recently in some newspaper (maybe the science section of the TIMES?) about how a new ocean in forming in Ethiopia on the eastern side if i remember right.

They used to love mit'in shiro (as opposed to the netch shiro my Ethiopian friend insisted I feed them), but they seem to like it less and less as time goes on. They cried last time I fed them something with a real taste of berbere - siga wat - cried like babies. It's my fault for toning it down. Nice job on the tibs - they look delicious.QBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958202392390845488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299246404198149569.post-67920327194478389822010-04-12T19:04:42.318-04:002010-04-12T19:04:42.318-04:00Oh, and I love the pictures of lake awassa!
