🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe
Gomen
Gomen is the Ethiopian preparation of collard greens, gently braised until tender with garlic, ginger, and a whisper of cardamom and cumin. This simple yet flavorful side dish is an essential component of the beyaynetu fasting platter and provides a mild, earthy counterpoint to the bolder, spicier wats.
