Shiro is the ultimate comfort food. It’s also vegan, gluten free, and ready in 30 minutes. Chickpea and split pea flour forms the base of this blend. But that’s not all – the addition of korerima, turmeric, shallots, ginger, holy basil, Ethiopian thyme, salt and a touch of berbere makes this blend truly packed with flavor.
The classic way to prepare it is to make shiro wat (sauce) by adding the powder to sauteed onions, garlic and tomatoes. The sauce is served atop injera (Ethiopian flatbread) with a host of other vegetarian dishes. It works great when sprinkled into a vegetable dish, soup or stew by adding flavor and acting as a thickening agent. Also great as a substitute to flour when making fried chicken or fish.
