Ingredients

• 2 cups barley flour
• 1/2 cup niter kibbeh
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup ergo or plain yoghurt, to serve
• 1 tsp mitmita, to serve

Method

1. 1

   Toast the barley flour in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring the whole time, for 10 to 12 minutes, until it darkens a shade and smells nutty

2. 2

   Let it cool for a few minutes — hot flour will split the butter

3. 3

   Work the niter kibbeh through it with your hands or the back of a spoon until the flour has taken all of it up

4. 4

   It is right when a handful squeezed in your fist holds its shape

5. 5

   Season with the salt

6. 6

   Mound it in a bowl, spoon the ergo over one side, and put the mitmita beside it
