Injera<br />
Injera is a fermented, spongy pancakelike bread that is eaten with meat or vegetable<br />
saucelike entrées. Fine-grained raw barley flour is used, alone or blended<br />
with other flours, such as tef. Injera is central to Ethiopian society. “Have you<br />
eaten injera today?” is a st<strong>and</strong>ard greeting. “He has no wat” (sauce) on his injera<br />
means “He’s desperately poor” (Davidson 1999). This recipe is from Bekele<br />
et al. (2005), who describe several traditional Ethiopian dishes.<br />
2 cups barley flour, or a blend of barley with wheat or tef flour<br />
4 cups water (approximately)<br />
2 tsp dry yeast (optional)
