Prepare the Injera

If using injera, tear it into bite-sized pieces and set aside. If using flatbread, cut it into small squares.

Cook the Aromatics

In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil or clarified butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Spices

Stir in the Berbere spice mix, paprika, and ground turmeric. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Add Tomato Sauce and Broth

Pour in the tomato sauce or diced tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Add Injera

Gently fold in the torn injera pieces, stirring to coat them with the sauce.

Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the injera is heated through and slightly softened.

Season and Serve

Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
