Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Place the quanta in a medium pot and add enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to rehydrate and tenderize.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: This step is crucial for softening the dried beef jerky.
- 2
Drain the quanta, reserving the cooking liquid if desired for additional broth, and set the quanta aside.
- 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the niter kibbeh over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: If using unsalted butter, clarify it first by simmering gently and skimming off solids for a similar flavor profile to niter kibbeh.
- 4
Add the yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Aproximativ 9 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- 5
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 6
Add the berbere spice blend, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine with the onion mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to toast and release their aroma.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 7
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 8
Add the rehydrated quanta to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the quanta to become very tender.
Aproximativ 18 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 9
Once the quanta is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat.
- 10
Add the torn injera pieces to the pot and gently fold them into the quanta and sauce until fully coated.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The injera will absorb the delicious sauce.
