Kitfo

Kitfo

"Kitfo" (sometimes "ketfo") is a dish found in Ethiopian cuisine. It consists of minced raw beef marinated in "mitmita" (a very spicy chili powder) and "niter kibbeh" (a clarified butter infused with herbs and spices). "Kitfo" may be served alongside, or mixed with, mild cheese and cooked greens. One may eat "kitfo" with "injera", a flatbread made from teff, although in traditional Gurage cuisine, one would use "kocho", a thick bread made from the "ensete" plant. An "ensete" leaf may be used as a garnish. "Kitfo" is a traditional dish of Ethiopia and, though not considered a delicacy, held in high regard.

The word comes from the Ethio-Semitic root k-t-f, meaning "to chop finely; mince."
