Tips for Making Ethiopian Tomato Salad (Timatim Firfir):

Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salad will be.
Chop the tomatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain raw.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many tomatoes to the pan at once, they will steam instead of sautéing.
Sauté the tomatoes over medium heat: This will allow them to caramelize slightly and develop a deeper flavor.
Season the tomatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, berbere, and niter kibbeh to taste.
Add the tomatoes to the salad just before serving: This will prevent them from becoming watery.

Conclusion:

Timatim firfir is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give timatim firfir a try!
