Method
Boil the greens for 8 minutes, drain them and squeeze every bit of water out
Chop them as finely as you possibly can. Keep going well past the point where it seems like enough — this is the entire character of the dish
Cook the onion in the niter kibbeh for 8 minutes until soft
Add the garlic and ginger and cook 2 minutes
Add the minced greens and cook 6 to 8 minutes, working them through the fat until they are glossy
Season with the mitmita and salt off the heat
Serve warm with ayib on the side

From the kitchen
Kitfo here means minced, not raw. It describes how the greens are cut, nothing else
Chop far finer than feels sensible. Coarsely cut gomen kitfo is just gomen with a different name
Gurage, and what kitfo and kocho are served alongside. The three of them arrive together
Mitmita goes in off the heat. In the pan it scorches and turns bitter
