Preparation

  1. 1

    Finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, and jalapeño. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the red onions, and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in the berbere spice and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the diced tomatoes and jalapeño. Cook for 3 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Pour in the whisked eggs, lower the heat slightly, and stir gently to scramble until soft curds form, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the heat while still moist and serve immediately.

Berbere spice blend is widely available in Ethiopian grocers or spice markets.
