Injera is the soft, tangy flatbread you see beneath Ethiopian stews and vegetables. Its finely bubbled surface holds sauce, while rolled or folded pieces around the plate give you bread to tear and use as a scoop.
If you are exploring Ethiopian injera food in Footscray, you do not have to master a technique first. Begin with a small piece and one serving, then combine the flavours you enjoy.

A SIMPLE WAY TO START
Take a bite-sized piece from the injera at the edge. It should be large enough to hold a little food without gathering more than you want to eat at once.
Pick up a little stew or vegetable with the bread. Taste the food and injera together: you will notice the bread’s tang alongside the seasoning of the serving.
Try a different side, then combine two favourites. The injera underneath the food is edible too; parts of it will take on sauce as the meal continues.
