T'ibs We't
Beef in Spicy Sauce
T'ibs we't is another of my favorite Ethiopian dishes. I haven't made it in a while because
it's very fattening. It's also very spicy, if you want it to be less so, use less berbere. Berbere is an Ethiopian spice
mix, you can find it at stores carrying African products or make your own following one of the recipes I linked to below.
The sauce in this dish will still be watery when it's done, it needs to cool down for the elements to blend together.
