Shiro (food)

Shiro (food)

Shiro is a homogenous stew whose primary ingredient is powdered chickpeas. It is often prepared with the addition of minced onions, garlic, and depending upon regional variation, ground ginger. Shiro is usually served atop injera, however, it can be cooked in shredded taita and eaten with a spoon, this version would be called "shiro fit-fit".

It is a favorite during the Lent and Ramadan seasons. It is a vegetarian food, however, there is a variation which includes tesmi (a spiced, clarified butter) that no longer qualifies as vegetarian.
