SHIMBRA WAT (CHICKPEAS WITH SPICY FLAXSEED PASTE)



Shimbra Wat (Chickpeas With Spicy Flaxseed Paste) image

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

3 tablespoons brown or golden flaxseed
3 tablespoons awaze dipping sauce
14 oz (400 g) cooked or canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Salt

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.

Conclusion:

Awaze is a versatile and flavorful Ethiopian dipping sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. With its vibrant red color and spicy, tangy taste, awaze is sure to add a touch of excitement to your next meal. Whether you're using it as a marinade, a dipping sauce, or a condiment, awaze is a delicious way to add some Ethiopian flair to your cooking. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to spice up your food, give awaze a try. You won't be disappointed!
