Here is a recipe for Injeera and also 2 recipes for sauces from “Sephardic
Cooking”, Copeland Marks. In Ethiopia the injeera are prepared with teff,
a grain of the millet family, but this recipe calls white flour.
1. Stir-fry the onion and garlic in a dry pan over moderately low heat for
2 minutes. Add the oil and stir-fry for 1 minute.
2. Add the mashed peas, tumeric, salt and chili; mix well. Add the water
and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce the mixture to a thick, green,
well-spiced puree. Serve warm with injeera (see recipe). Variation: If you
substitute 1 cup of red Egyptian lentils for the green split peas and
follow the same instructions, you will have Misr Allecha.
