SoniaHOST
This is from a food blog called Baking Herman, and the recipe is for Tikil Gomen, spiced cabbage, potato, and carrots.
SoniaHOST
It's an Ethiopian comfort food, and it is as simple as can be.
SoniaHOST
It's just onion, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage.
SoniaHOST
The spices are turmeric, cloves, and ground pepper.
SoniaHOST
And there's an Ethiopian spice he suggests, but you can also swap that for cardamom.
SoniaHOST
So it's very home cook friendly.
SoniaHOST
It's very easy to make.
Ted AllenGUEST
In Ethiopia, it is ground into flour and used as the primary ingredient of injera, which is that soft, spongy Ethiopian bread that you use in lieu of cutlery generally to scoop up soups or to scoop up stews.
Simon MajumdarHOST
Have you ever had injera and Ethiopian food, which I absolutely
Ted AllenGUEST
adore? Oh, we used to.
Ted AllenGUEST
Especially when I lived in Chicago.
HessaHOST
but we all know what it is now, so it's like what- what's the fun in it?
BenHOST
Yeah Yeah Like if- if it's so- How many, how many smoking onion towers can you clap out? E- Ethiopian food is my least favorite type of food, and I'd rather eat Ethiopian food before hibachi 'cause I'd rather not be made into a- a fucking dancing seal going, "More food"
HessaHOST
Ethiopian food is delicious.

Claire BartholicHOST
The one thing to ask about is ghee, which is clarified butter, and that shows up in a lot of dishes that otherwise look completely plant-based, and paneer, which is a type of cheese, not tofu, even though they can look similar on your plate.
Claire BartholicHOST
Ethiopian food is one of the most plant-based friendly cuisines there is, built around injera, the spongy sourdough flatbread served with a spread of lentil and vegetable stews.
Claire BartholicHOST
Order the vegetarian combo at almost any Ethiopian restaurant, and you'll usually get a full plate of naturally vegan dishes without having to ask a single question.
Claire BartholicHOST
Mexican food can go either way depending on the restaurant.
Claire BartholicHOST
But beans, rice, guacamole, and corn tortillas are everywhere, and a lot of places will happily build you a bean and veggie burrito or bowl if you ask.
Zach FrancisGUEST
Um, d- d- and you know what? Just, just a little side topic, uh, I have worked with, uh, berbere spice.
Zach FrancisGUEST
You know that Ethiopian spice?
Joy SekaniHOST
Ethiopian spice? No, no.
Zach FrancisGUEST
Yeah, berbere.
Zach FrancisGUEST
No? Oh, okay.
Devesh TilokaniHOST
So like, let's say if, if I wanted to make...
Devesh TilokaniHOST
I wanted to try Ethiopian food, and, you know, I, I found an Ethiopian dish on, you know, Instagram that I wanted to make, and there are, like, eight different ingredients.
Devesh TilokaniHOST
So would Mina be able to tell me where exactly, how to make the dish, and then also where I could find those eight ingredients, what stores, let's say in the GTA?
Aaqib UsmaniGUEST
Yeah.
Aaqib UsmaniGUEST
Like say someone wanted to get a product like chaat masala, right? There's actually stores we work with that, say, have that product already ready, and you can, like, access it like authentic street food, that style.
Aaqib UsmaniGUEST
Now, if it was a dish that you wanna make at home and it has all the ingredients, she will actually find from across the entire Tasteport network, which has thousands of products that are actually not available on Amazon or even Walmart today, right, and allow you to get even the fresh stuff.
Aaqib UsmaniGUEST
So we're talking produce, dairy, et cetera, and those sort of ingredients that you would need for that Ethiopian dish or one of the African dishes that we have on the platform.
Aaqib UsmaniGUEST
She'd also suggest if we don't have them on the system, right, here is an alternate dish that you might wanna also try, right? Or if you wanna make a certain dish in a certain way, let's say like I found like a...

Kwame Onwuachi, the chef behind Tatiana, Dogon, and restaurants from Miami to Las Vegas, joins me in the studio for the very first time.
Matt RodbardHOST
On this episode, we get into his big ideas for the CPG game, his pull towards Ethiopian cooking, and we talk about his three books, capped by All Ours, less a cookbook, and more the documentation of what he actually wants to cook every single day.
Matt RodbardHOST
I hope you enjoy this episode.
Matt RodbardHOST
