Method
Bring the water to a boil with the salt
Tip the flour in all at once and start beating immediately with a wooden spoon
Keep beating over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. It will fight back, and that resistance is the dish
It is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the pot as one mass
Wet a bowl, press the genfo into it, and turn it out onto a plate as a dome
Hollow a well in the top with the back of a wet spoon
Melt the kibbeh with the berbere and pour it into the well
Eat from the outside in, dipping each piece as you break it off

From the kitchen
Beat hard and beat constantly. Lumps are the only way to fail at genfo
Wet the bowl and wet the spoon, or it sticks to everything it touches
It sets fast, so shape it the moment it comes off the heat
Traditionally made for a woman who has just given birth, and still the thing people make for anyone who needs feeding up
