Injera Fitfit with Scrambled Eggs
Torn teff injera is coated in a gently spiced berbere-tomato sauce and finished with fluffy scrambled eggs and fresh jalapeño.
Ingredients
- 🫓 8 ounces plain teff injera, torn into bite-size pieces
- 🫒 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 🧅 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 🧄 1 garlic clove, minced
- 🍅 1/2 cup finely diced tomato
- 🌶️ 1 teaspoon berbere spice
- 🧂 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 🥚 3 large eggs
- 🌶️ 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced
Directions
- Tear the injera into bite-size pieces and set them aside in a medium bowl.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds, until the onion softens and looks translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the tomato, berbere, and salt, then cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the tomato breaks down into a thick, spoonable sauce, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the torn injera and toss continuously with tongs for 1 to 2 minutes, until every piece is coated and warmed but still slightly springy.
- Transfer the fitfit to a serving bowl and let it rest for 2 minutes so the injera can absorb the sauce without becoming mushy.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully blended and no streaks remain.
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the eggs, and stir slowly with a spatula for 2 to 3 minutes until softly set with small glossy curds; remove from the heat while a little moisture remains.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs over the fitfit, scatter the sliced jalapeño on top, and serve immediately.
