🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe

Tegabino

Tegabino is an intensely flavored, baked version of shiro that originated in the Gurage region of Ethiopia. The chickpea flour stew is poured into a small clay dish and baked until it develops a rich, slightly crusty top while remaining creamy underneath. The baking concentrates the flavors and creates a texture that is denser and more satisfying than regular shiro.
