Ingredients
- 4 flatbreads or flour tortillas
- 3 tbsp butter or niter kibbeh
- 2 tsp berbere
- 1 tbsp honey (optional but traditional)
- Plain yogurt, to serve
Method
- Toast the flatbreads in a dry skillet until browned in spots and slightly crisp, then tear into bite-size shards.
- Melt the butter in the same pan over medium-low and stir in the berbere for 30 seconds — it should foam brick-red and smell like an event.
- Toss the torn bread through the spiced butter until every shard is stained and glistening, 2 minutes.
- Drizzle with honey — sweet against the berbere burn is the whole dance.
- Serve warm with cold yogurt for dragging. Fifteen minutes, three ingredients, and suddenly toast feels like it never tried.
