Gluten-Free Ethiopian Cuisine – Our Top Picks!

Gluten-Free Ethiopian in New England and New York

Ever tried Ethiopian cuisine? If not, you should, because it’s nearly 100% gluten free. The flavor profile is a combo of earthy, spicy, tart, sour, and pungent flavors, and the base seasoning, called Berbere, is made with chile peppers, fenugreek, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and coriander. Meals are social affairs, with foods served on a shared Injera, a tangy bread made from Teff, a GF grain native to Ethiopia. Diners tear pieces of Injera, scooping up flavorful stews and spicy meats.
