SHIMBRA WAT (CHICKPEAS WITH SPICY FLAXSEED PASTE)
This Ethiopian dish of chickpeas in a berbere-spiced, flaxseed-thickened sauce makes for a quick, filling, and wonderfully flavorful meal.
Provided by Yohanis Gebreyesus
Yield 3-4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Heat a small dry frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the flaxseed and lightly dry-toast for about 2 minutes, stirring and shaking the pan, until aromatic. Transfer to a dish and leave to cool. Once cool, grind using an electric spice or coffee grinder.
- In a Dutch oven or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of water over low heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of the awaze. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, then gradually work in the remaining 2 tablespoons of awaze, along with the ground flaxseed and 1 cup (250 ml) of water. Reduce the heat to its lowest possible level, cover, and cook, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes. Add a touch more water if it looks like the mixture is drying out-it should still be a bit runny at the end.
- Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in a saucepan and cover with 2 cups (500 ml) of water. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, and soak in the liquid until ready to use. Drain the chickpeas, reserving about 1 cup (240 ml) of the liquid. Add the chickpeas to the awaze-flaxseed mixture, generously season with salt, and mix well. Tip in some of the reserved cooking water if needed so that the sauce is a touch runny and evenly coats the chickpeas. Cook for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors before serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of fresh ingredients to create a flavorful and aromatic awaze sauce.
- Adjust the amount of chili peppers to suit your desired level of spiciness.
- If you don't have berbere spice, you can substitute a blend of paprika, cumin, coriander, and ginger.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique awaze sauce.
- Awaze sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve awaze sauce with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers.
