What’s on
this plate?

Genfo is a thick, porridge-style Ethiopian breakfast. The reference image shows a shaped mound with a well of red seasoning in the centre. It is eaten in small spoonfuls, taking a little of the centre with the thicker outer portion.

A closer look at each part

Thick genfo: The main portion holds its shape rather than flowing like a thin breakfast porridge. The restaurant’s menu does not specify the grain or flour, so ask which is used.
Central seasoning: A red liquid or condiment fills the well in the reference photo. Ask the team to identify it and show you how much to mix into a bite.
