What’s on
this plate?
Kitfo Special brings finely minced beef together with two contrasting accompaniments: cooked collard greens and crumbly ayib cheese. The beef is seasoned with mitmita and Ethiopian spiced clarified butter. You choose the cooking level with the team before the dish is prepared.
A closer look at each part
- Minced beef
- The finely chopped beef is the main serving. Its small pieces create a different texture from the larger cubes in tibs or Gored Gored.
- Mitmita
- Mitmita is the chilli spice seasoning mixed into the beef. It flavours the mince rather than forming a separate meat dish.
- Spiced clarified butter
- The Ethiopian butter, called kibbeh on the menu, is infused with herbs and spices and mixed with the beef.
- Gomen
- Gomen is the cooked collard-green accompaniment. Taste it on its own, then combine a little with the mince.
- Ayib
- Ayib is Ethiopian cottage cheese. Its crumbly white texture contrasts with the seasoned beef and the cooked greens.
