Injera as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Injera is absolutely in that category. The richly buttery quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. teff injera does work that no substitute can replicate.

the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. There's something about the a communal injera sharing meal context that reinforces the comfort effect. tej honey wine alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
