Ethiopian food is known for its rich, flavorful, and communal style of eating, centered around injera, a type of spongy, sour flatbread made from teff flour. Injera serves as both a plate and utensil, with various stews, wats, and vegetable dishes placed on top, and diners use pieces of injera to scoop up the food. The cuisine is renowned for its bold use of spices such as berbere (a blend of chili and other spices) and mitmita, which infuse dishes with a distinctive warmth and depth. Common dishes include doro wat (a spicy chicken stew), kitfo (minced raw beef), and a variety of lentils, beans, and vegetables.
