Yebeg Tibs
7/16/2021
I believe this is the fist time I'm blogging about an Ethiopian lamb dish. Yebeg Tibs is pieces of lamb meat cooked in a mildly spicy sauce with onion and garlic. It was served with a side of house sauce and salad. You could order the house sauce mild or spicy, so naturally I went for the spicy. The very red sauce was hot and sour with an exotic floral note. The salad was lettuce, tomato, and red onion simply dressed with lemon juice. The lamb stew, that had really good lamb flavor, was served on injera (a sourdough spongy pancake made from a type of grass seed). I enjoyed this spicy, sour, and savory dish with a Harar beer, my favorite Ethiopian brand. It's malty and just a little bitter and slightly sweet. On the label it says “Enjoy the taste of real beer”. Location: Addis Restaurant, 3643 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, California.Date: July 16, 2021.
