Dirkosh
Dried Injera Chips
A traditional Ethiopian zero-waste snack made from leftover injera, dried until perfectly crisp. Dirkosh can be enjoyed on its own as a crunchy snack, crumbled into stews and soups, or used as a flavorful crouton.
🧂 食材
- 5-10 sheets Leftover injera(Any type of injera will work, but slightly older or drier injera might dry faster. Ensure it's not moldy.)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the injera: Lay out the leftover injera sheets on a clean, flat surface. If the injera is very large, you can cut it into more manageable sections, roughly the size of a standard baking sheet.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Sun-dry the injera: Place the injera sheets in a location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. A clean outdoor patio, balcony, or even a sunny windowsill can work. To protect the injera from dust, insects, or birds, you can cover it loosely with a fine mesh screen, cheesecloth, or a clean kitchen towel. Ensure there is good air circulation around the injera.
⏱️ 1-3 days - 3
Check for crispness: The injera is ready when it is completely dry and brittle. It should snap easily when bent, rather than fold. If it feels even slightly pliable, continue drying.
⏱️ Ongoing during drying - 4
Break into pieces: Once fully dried and crispy, carefully break the injera sheets into bite-sized chip-like pieces. You can do this by hand or by gently pressing down on the sheets. Aim for pieces that are easy to handle and eat.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Store and serve: Store the dirkosh in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay crispy for several weeks. Enjoy as a crunchy snack on its own, or crumble it into Ethiopian dishes like kitfo or firfir, or use as a substitute for croutons in salads and soups.
⏱️ Storage: Several weeks
