👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Sprinkle 2 tsp of turmeric over the fish cubes and set aside.
2
In a large pan, dry-fry the chopped red onion over medium heat for about 15 minutes until softened and lightly browned, adding a little water if it starts to stick.
3
Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the pan. Once hot, stir in the minced garlic, ginger, berbere spice (if using), jalapenos (if using), and the remaining 2 tsp of turmeric. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a separate pan. Fry the seasoned fish cubes until golden brown on all sides.
6
Add the fried fish to the tomato sauce. Stir in the water or fish broth and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, traditionally with injera or rice.

For a richer flavor, consider using niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) instead of some of the vegetable oil.
