Eritrea: Zigni

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED

It's usually a little difficult to find recipes for smaller African countries but Zigni popped right up when I began researching Eritrea and it sounded really good to me.

Zigni is a spicy and cumin forward beef stew. If you don't like cumin, it is not for you. If you do like cumin, this is awesome on a cold wintry day! And I imagine the leftovers will be even better because soups and stews are always better the second day.

It was surprisingly easy to make, it just takes some time for the meat to become tender. I could find everything except the Berbere spice at the local grocery store. I already had Berbere spice on hand from a previous International Meal so I didn't have to deal with shipping anything right now. Yay!

It was a warm filling meal and I will definitely make this again!
