injeraDIRECTIONS
- Make the karia sinig: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add the onion and cook until just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato and cook until slightly broken down, about 3 minutes more. Season with salt, then stuff into the jalapenos and set aside until ready to serve.
- Make the shiro: Blend the garlic, tomato, and red onion in the bowl of a food processor until it forms a paste.
- Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high. Add the onion-tomato paste and cook until it changes color to a deep red, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shiro powder and cook, slowly adding the water a little at a time and stirring, until smooth. Lower the heat and cook, covered, until it reaches a semi-thick soup-like consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt, stir in the sliced jalapeño, and remove from the heat. Serve immediately with the karia sinig and injera.
