ETHIOPIAN SUNFLOWER SEEDS DIPPING SAUCE



Ethiopian Sunflower Seeds Dipping Sauce image

Sunflower Seeds Dipping Sauce (Yesuf Fitfit) is one of the side-dishes of Ethiopia, usually prepared during Lent. It is used with Injera (Ethiopian flat bread). There are many ways of preparing a dish from the sunflower seeds and this is one of my recipes.

SUNBUTTER DIPPING SAUCE

Instead of the usual peanut butter I opted to use sunflower butter to make my dipping sauce. This is a bit milder then satay or peanut sauce. I'm going to serve over bbq'd chicken, carrot and green salad tonight. If you can't find Ketjup Manis in your grocery store try an Asian Market. Or, make your own, I did and here's the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/chef-joeys-ketjap-manis-395074
