What it is
Traditionally, Enkulal Firfir involves scrambled eggs mixed with torn pieces of injera. For a keto version, the eggs are scrambled with finely chopped onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, spiced with a mild berbere or turmeric blend, and cooked generously in niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) or olive oil. It is served as a flavorful, protein-rich dish without any injera.
Key ingredients
Eggs, onion, bell peppers (green, red), tomatoes, garlic, ginger, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) or olive oil, berbere spice blend (mild), salt, black pepper.
