Are the walnuts essential? I can't eat them, could I just add more of the rice and lentils?

You could or you could sub some toasted pine nuts if you wanted to. Thanks for making my recipe!

Trying to comment but it's not showing up....will probably post twice now... Anyhoos, you can leave out the walnuts or add some toasted pine nuts - either should work ok. Good luck and thanks for testing my recipe!

Oh, wow. I am so making these! I love the idea of just having nitter kibbeh on hand to pour over everything!

Wow, oh, wow! These sound fabulous, and the niter kibbeh is worth the price of admission on it's own.

Thanks hla! I am somewhat (ok completely) obsessed with niter kibbeh. I would roll around and make snow angels in this stuff if it weren't so darn unsanitary. And butter weren't so expensive......

Yum. these look crazy good. LOVE Ethiopian food and lucky to have a restaurant nearby. Is that injera recipe coming? (no pressure)

Well, it's not really my injera recipe. Much like the niter kibbeh, it's a mish-mosh of wierd recipes found on the internet. I CAN tell you that any 'quick' injera recipes out there are not good at all. You really have to let your starter sit around for a few days to get that tang that injera has. I'll see if I can pull together something to post. Wish we had an ethiopian restaurant in town but we don't - it's what led me to start cooking it at home. I would conduct rituals with niter kibbeh if I could.....

Wow. Love the -ish. I plan to try them when the son and the daughter are here for Christmas. The idea of an all-appetizer dinner is starting to take shape.

Aren't they sometimes the best part of the celebration? Sounds like a plan to me!

Done. Sorry, early morning insanity set in with the whirlwind of small children, breakfast, showers, runny noses, packing lunches and trying to blow dry my #$@# unmanageable hair. It's a wonder I didn't forget anything!
