Ask the team which vegetables and stews are included in the current serving. ![Vegetarian platter of injera with orange stews, greens, potatoes, cabbage, beetroot and chopped salad](https://testofethiopiarestaurant.com.au/assets/food/food-06-vegetarian-sharing-overhead.webp) ### A closer look at each part **Smooth orange stew** Large serving at the centre The centre holds a smooth, spoonable orange stew, resembling shiro, a stew made from pulses such as peas. Start with a little on injera and ask the team which pulse preparation is being served. **Thicker orange stews** Upper right and lower left of the centre These separate mounds have a coarser texture than the central serving and appear to be lentil or other pulse stews. Try a small taste of each before mixing them; their colour does not tell you how hot they are. **Cooked leafy greens** Above and below the centre Dark chopped leaves and stems give a leafy, savoury bite. They are a useful contrast to the smooth stews, either on their own with injera or alongside a piece of potato. **Yellow potatoes** Upper left and lower right The larger yellow chunks are potato. Their soft, familiar texture makes an approachable first bite for someone new to the meal. Ask about the seasonings and cooking fat if you need to check an ingredient. **Yellow cabbage** Towards the top and left side The yellow ribbons are cooked cabbage, served separately from the potato. Scoop a small portion with injera to compare its softer, folded texture with the chopped greens. **Beetroot** Purple portions on both sides The dark purple chopped beetroot brings an earthy flavour and a different vegetable texture. Try it with a little plain injera, then pair it with greens or a small amount of stew. **Salad and red condiment** Salad at upper left and lower right; small red servings near the edges The chopped salad contains visible lettuce, cucumber and tomato for a fresh bite. The small bright red accompaniments are condiments: ask what they contain and sample a little separately before adding them to a full mouthful. **Injera** Several folded portions and the brown sheet underneath The bubbly brown flatbread has a soft, flexible texture. Tear, scoop and eat it with the vegetables. The large sheet underneath is edible too and takes on the sauces as you work around the plate. **Excellent****4.5****90 reviews on Google** [Write a review](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Amy Bachrach 5 months ago [Read guest reviews on Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZUF2ft8vjPss8Kp9) Enjoyed a delicious lunch and a vegetarian platter with greens, lentils, vegetables and a bright salad.

THE FIRST BITE ### Start here Try potato on injera first, followed by greens, then the smooth centre stew. Compare that with one of the thicker orange servings. Finish the round with a little beetroot or salad, and ask the team about the small red condiments before adding them. THE HOW ### Make it your own Tear off a small piece of injera and scoop one or two sides. The flatbread underneath catches the sauces and is there to enjoy.
