Method
Cook the onion in the niter kibbeh over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until soft and just turning gold
Add the tomato and chillies and cook 3 minutes, until the tomato collapses
Stir in the berbere and cook it 30 seconds
Pour in the eggs and stir slowly, scraping the bottom of the pan, until they are only just set — about 2 minutes
Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet; they finish on the plate
Serve with bread or injera
Photographs
From the kitchen
Despite the name, no injera goes into it. It is closer to scrambled eggs than to any other firfir
Low heat and take it off early. Eggs carry on cooking in a hot pan long after you stop
The niter kibbeh is what makes this Ethiopian rather than just scrambled eggs. Butter is not the same thing
Leave the berbere out and you have the version made for children
