## 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.

Found a warm atmosphere and fresh, flavourful food, especially the vegetarian platter served on injera.
