Yetsom Beyaynetu: Ethiopian Platter with Lentil Stew, Braised Collards & Tomato Salad
Yetsom Beyaynetu is an Ethiopian combination platter composed of vegan curries and veggies. We love the variety this type of dinner offers. Our version features a rich red lentil stew, tender collard greens simmered with tomatoes and warming berbere spice blend, and a spicy fresh tomato salad with chiles. This family-style plate is usually eaten without utensils, so warm bread on the side is a must for dipping and scooping!
