This is an Ethiopian recipe that is slightly altered to better accommodate ingredients commonly available in the US. Use spinach if you prefer; and if you can't find cardamom, just leave it out. I first made this for a school project in junior high.

I had cottage cheese by chance and I wanted to spice it up a bit but this was not the best way to do it. I didn't like it personally I thought the clove taste was a little overwhelming. However I really enjoyed making something new and stepping outside the box by tasting culturally different foods. Read More

One of my favorite restaurants is Ethiopian so I always keep an eye out for recipes from this country. This was fairly dull. Perhaps the cottage cheese is a little too sharp. Read More
