About Ethiopian shiro
Shiro is a flavorful Ethiopian stew made primarily from powdered chickpeas or broad beans mixed with spices such as garlic, onions, ginger, and berbere—a vibrant chili spice blend. A staple in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, it is often enjoyed with injera, a spongy sourdough flatbread made from teff. Shiro is packed with plant-based protein and fiber, making it a nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans. The inclusion of legumes provides slow-digesting carbohydrates, which promote steady energy levels. Additionally, the spices in shiro contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its sodium content may increase depending on preparation and seasoning, so mindful consumption is advised for those watching their salt intake. Whether served thick or thin, shiro is a comforting, nutrient-rich dish that embodies the heart of Ethiopian culinary traditions.
