  • Method: Simmer/Sauté
  • Cuisine: Ethiopian
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) atmit duket
  • 2 cups (480ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon (21g) honey
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (optional)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml/76g) Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian clarified butter, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, whisk the atmit duket into the water until a smooth mixture is formed.
  2. Place the pot over low heat and stir in the honey. Cook the mixture until it reaches a thickness similar to that of a smoothie. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add the optional milk and mix again.
  3. If using, stir in the kibe (clarified butter) and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 5 minutes. This step is to warm through and combine the flavors.
  4. Once the atmit duket porridge is heated through and the flavors are well incorporated, you can adjust the consistency by adding more water or milk if desired.
  5. Serve the Ethiopian atmit duket porridge immediately, either on its own or with additional toppings if desired.
