Kategna
A popular Ethiopian snack or appetizer made from toasted injera spread with a flavorful berbere-infused spiced butter (niter kibbeh). It's known for its crispy texture and aromatic spices.
🧂 Malzemeler
- 2 sheets Injera(Fresh or day-old injera works well. If using day-old, it might toast up crispier.)
- 50g Niter kibbeh(Ethiopian spiced clarified butter. If unavailable, unsalted butter can be used, but the flavor will be different. Ensure it's softened or melted for easy spreading.)
- 1 tbsp Berbere(Ethiopian spice blend. Adjust to your spice preference. More berbere will result in a spicier, more intensely flavored kategna.)
👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Prepare the spiced butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened or melted niter kibbeh with the berbere spice blend. Stir vigorously until the berbere is evenly incorporated into the butter, creating a smooth, reddish paste. The aroma should be fragrant and spicy.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Spread the spiced butter: Lay the injera sheets flat on a clean surface. Using a brush or a spoon, evenly spread the prepared berbere butter mixture over one side of each injera sheet, covering it from edge to edge.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Toast the injera: Heat a dry non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (approximately 190°C / 375°F). Alternatively, you can toast over an open flame (like a gas burner) on medium heat. Place the buttered side of the injera down onto the hot surface. Toast for 2-4 minutes, or until the injera begins to crisp up and turn golden brown in spots. You should hear a gentle sizzle.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes - 4
Flip and toast the other side (optional but recommended for even crispness): Carefully flip the injera and toast the unbuttered side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and firm. The goal is a crispy, slightly chewy texture, not burnt. Remove from heat.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 5
Serve: Once toasted and still warm, roll up each injera sheet tightly, or fold it in half. Slice the rolled or folded injera into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch wide). Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
