Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut the excess fat from the meat, and discard.
- Finely chop the meat (with a mincer and not with a blender), and place it into a large bowl.
- Salt the meat, then add the melted niter kibbeh and mitmita, and mix well.
- Serve with injera.
Notes
- It is possible to keep leftover kitfo overnight, in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The next day, either sauté or heat over very low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter melts, and the temperature of the meat approaches room temperature. Serve immediately.
