I'm using this recipe as my base: http://www.ethiopianspices.com/html/recipes.asp.. I kind of wing it and adjust for taste and texture as I go.

I do make my own injera. I use club soda instead of still water and I use almond and self rising flour if I don't have any Teff on hand.

I'm going to use this recipe



I don't really like refried beans from the can so I just take black beans and heat them with some water or chix stock and add some cumin and hot sauce and smush!
