About Sauteed shiro

Sauteed Shiro is a flavorful dish rooted in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine, made from shiro powder, a blend of ground chickpeas or broad beans mixed with spices like garlic, cumin, and turmeric. Cooked with onions, oil, and water, it forms a creamy, protein-rich stew commonly enjoyed with injera, a sourdough flatbread. This dish is both plant-based and gluten-free, making it appealing to various dietary preferences. Shiro is rich in fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals such as iron and magnesium, beneficial for digestion and energy. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation, as traditional recipes often include generous amounts of oil, which can add saturated fat and calories. Careful moderation of oil can enhance its health benefits while preserving its signature taste. Vibrant and soul-warming, Sauteed Shiro is a perfect example of simplicity meeting nutrition in East African culinary tradition.
