Ethiopian Feast!

Tonight I made a trio of Ethiopian recipes from Appetite for Reduction: Stewed & Sauteed Collards, Ethiopian Millet, and Mushroom Tibs. I worried that this wouldn't be very filling since it's mostly vegetables, but I couldn't even finish my plate!



Everything was great. There are a million spices in here and it was kind of chaotic putting it all together, but it still ended up taking less than an hour.

I never thought I would be a person who liked boiled greens - but I love them. There is a little sidebar in the cookbook that tells about how one serving of collards has the same amount of calcium as a cup of milk, with zero fat and tons of fiber. Superfood!
