Shafoot is traditionally made with Yemeni lahoh bread, and our rendition highlights the influences and cultural exchange between Yemen and Ethiopia by using Ethiopian injera, a spongy, large flatbread made with teff, a tiny, nutrient-dense, ancient grain native to Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The shafoot is four layers of injera, with a whole fat buttermilk blend of cilantro, garlic, green thai chili, scallion, tomato, lemon juice, cumin, and coriander. This mixture is layered between the injera. This is chilled overnight.
It’s sliced and drenched in the cilantro buttermilk sauce when plated. Garnished with chopped romaine, cherry tomato, and pomegranate seeds.
Shafoot is a layered dish of bread, buttermilk, and herbs served cold.
