TIBS -- ETHIOPIAN LAMB STEW
This recipe is from Marcus Samuelsson, the Ethiopian born, Swedish raised chef of Aquavit in Manhattan. He learned it from the chef at Meskerem, a wonderful Ethiopian restaurant in New York. It should be eaten with Injera, the Ethiopian flat bread which is soft and slightly sour and adds a wonderful touch to the dish. Pita bread or soft tortillas are the right texture, but the flavor isn't there. If there's an Ethiopian restaurant nearby, you may be able to buy some. If you can get Tef (the fermented grain that gives Injera its special taste), you can make your own. There's a recipe posted. Add one to two hours of refrigeration time to the cooking time. You'll have some of the clarified seasoned butter left over, but you'll find a use for it, I promise.
