## What’s on *this plate?*

Gomen Besiga combines cooked collard greens with lamb. Gomen refers to the greens: dark leafy vegetables cooked until they can be gathered into a bite. This dish suits someone who wants vegetables and meat together in the same preparation.

### A closer look at each part

**Collard greens**

These are leafy vegetables, cooked and chopped rather than served as a raw salad. Both leaves and stems may give the dish texture.

**Lamb cubes**

Small pieces of lamb are mixed through the greens. Look for a piece with some leaves to experience the combination.

**Onion**

Onion cooks into the mixture and adds a softer aromatic component.

**Ethiopian spices**

The menu names a spice seasoning without listing the complete blend. The greens and meat take on that seasoning together.

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