SHIRO (ETHIOPIAN CHICKPEA SPREAD)

Shiro (Ethiopian Chickpea Spread) image

I seek out vegetarian dishes and this is one I love. You could consider shiro the mashed potatoes of Ethiopia; chickpea flour is something everyone can afford and it's nourishing. But nourishing doesn't come close to describing the flavors you get from the caramelized onion puree, the tomatoes, the berbere. It's rich and earthy and satisfying. Serve it as a side dish or add some shiro to Berbere Roasted Carrots & Fennel with Oranges or just to some cooked broccoli and you have a perfect light and healthy lunch. As for the spiced butter, make it and you have flavor. You can saute with it because it's been clarified and can take high heat. You can stir it into rice and use it to finish other dishes. Think of it as the butter.

Time 1h

Yield about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Spiced Butter, recipe follows
2 garlic cloves, chopped
One 2-inch knob ginger, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon berbere
1/2 cup chickpea flour (see Chef's Note)
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups water, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Injera, for serving, optional
4 sticks (2 cups) unsalted butter
1 cinnamon stick
2 peeled garlic cloves
2-inch piece ginger, peeled
1 sprig rosemary
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Steps:

Heat the olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the Spiced Butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and berbere and whisk until combined. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture has thickened up slightly, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the chickpea flour, stirring briskly to avoid lumps; this will thicken quickly. Whisk in the tomatoes, 1 cup of water and the remaining 1 teaspoon Spiced Butter. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, adding more water as needed and stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the flour has cooked out, at least 10 minutes and up to 45 minutes for a stronger flavor. The shiro should have the consistency of thick buttermilk; it will thicken as it stands and cools. Season with salt and pepper and serve on injera if desired.
Cut the butter into pieces and put in a saucepan with the cinnamon, garlic, ginger, rosemary, and turmeric. Turn the heat to low, let the butter melt, then simmer very gently (you don't want the milk solids to brown) for 30 minutes to infuse the flavors into the butter.
Let the butter sit for 10 minutes until the milk solids settle at the bottom. Skim off any froth and pull out the cinnamon, garlic, ginger, and rosemary. Pour the butter into a large measuring cup--be careful to leave all the milk solids behind. Discard the solids. Then pour the butter into ice cube trays and freeze it. Once they're solid, you can put the butter cubes into plastic bags and keep them in the freezer for months.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 medium red onions, diced
Salt
1/4 cup Spiced Butter (or 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, preferably freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
One 1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon Berbere or chili powder
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, divided
One 4-to 5-pound chicken, cut into 10 pieces, wings reserved for another use
1/4 cup dry red wine
Juice of 1 lime
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

Combine the onions, a pinch of salt, and half of the spiced butter in a Dutch oven or other large deep pot over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining butter, the cardamom, black pepper, cloves, garlic, ginger, and berbere and cook until the onions soften and take on the color of the spices, about 10 minutes.
Add 2 cups of the chicken stock and the chicken legs and thighs, bring to simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and the wine, bring back to a simmer, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and simmer for 20 minutes.
Gently stir in the lime juice and eggs and simmer for another 5 minutes. The sauce will be loose and soupy. Season with salt to taste.

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
