This is fantastic, and authentic. I keep a jar of it in my fridge at all times...even my 5 year old daughter loves it, mixed with minced sirloin (kitfo) or just spread on homemade injera. BIG THUMBS UP.

OMG THE HOUSE SMELLED SOOOOO GOOD ALLL DAY LONG!!! This is delicious!! I made it to use in Cookgirl's Yemiser Salata Niter Kebbeh Doo Dah Doo Dah for the NA&MEwith HUGE success. DD's spread it on their toast. Store for 2 months? It won't last that long! I plan to make this using olive oil this summer for my butter/fat phobic but wonderful mom. 
Thanks!

I used this to make Doro Wot and a few other ethiopian dishes. It worked FANTASTIC! YUM! Next time, I think I'll use half olive oil and half butter to make it softer to work with straight from the fridge.

This is a seasoned oil mix. I have made it with olive oil but not with butter because I wanted to make a non-dairy meal. It works well with olive oil but I will try it with butter for dairy meals.
