How to make Tuna Kitfo Style

Why cooks start here

Tuna Kitfo Style belongs to the everyday cooking of modern Addis kitchens, where its aroma calls everyone to the table. This home version keeps the flavors direct and generous, the way a family cook serves it.

Tuna Kitfo Style emerges from the everyday kitchens of modern Addis Ababa, where the aroma of this dish signals a gathering at the table. It's a contemporary twist on the traditional kitfo, adapted for those seeking a lighter, fish-based alternative while still preserving the comforting essence of Ethiopian home cooking. Expect a vibrant play of flavors, where the tender, sushi-grade tuna is both enlivened by lemon juice and emboldened by spicy mitmita. The rich niter kibbeh infuses warmth, while fresh ayib cheese adds a creamy counterpoint. All of this is balanced by the earthy gomen collard greens, wrapped in the soft embrace of injera, creating a dish that's both familiar and refreshingly new.
