"Tibs firfir is a stir-fried preparation with injera — leftover injera is torn and stir-fried with the remaining stew. The technique is specific: the injera must be slightly dried before frying, the vegetables are added at the correct time. This is a dish about resourcefulness that has become a delicacy."

"The firfir technique is the key. Fresh injera is too soft to hold its shape in a stir-fry. The dried injera absorbs the sauce, the vegetables add texture, the berbere is present. This is breakfast food in the Ethiopian tradition — the dish that people eat after the overnight fermentation of the injera is complete."
