Dirkosh firfir is built on its sauce, and the sauce is built on our Berbere. Finish it with our Niter Kibbeh, or leave it out for the vegan version.

Good to know

To make it vegan, leave out the eggs and the niter kibbeh. Everything else stays the same. See more dishes in our Ethiopian vegan food guide.

Ethiopians cook by feel, not by measuring, so treat the amounts as a starting point.
