🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe
Ayib
Ayib is a fresh, mild Ethiopian cottage cheese made by gently curdling whole milk and draining off the whey. With its soft, crumbly texture and subtle tang, ayib serves as a cooling foil to the fiery wats on an Ethiopian table. It is one of the simplest yet most essential elements of Ethiopian cuisine.
