Did you know?
Misir Wat is an everyday staple eaten across Ethiopia. The country has one of the world's most developed vegetarian food traditions, largely because of Orthodox Christian fasting days when meat is forbidden, which can be up to 200 days per year. On those days, dishes like Misir Wat are what the country eats.
