Shro Wat Recipe #256616
I found this recipe on the internet while looking for how to use the plantain I'd bought. It's based on an Ethiopian dish and I subsequently modified it (didn't like the plantain and added more tomato taste). It has a lovely creamy texture and is perfect on a winter evening served with millet or couscous.
