Shiro (Tegabino) in Winnipeg

About Our Shiro (Tegabino)

Shiro is the cornerstone of Ethiopian home cooking — the dish that appears on nearly every table across the country, and the one most Ethiopians grow up on. At Mesob we build ours from finely milled chickpea flour, whisked slowly into caramelised onion, garlic and a measured amount of berbere until it thickens into a smooth, glossy stew.

Tegabino means it arrives at the table still bubbling in a black claypot, which keeps it hot right through the meal. The result is warming, nutty and satisfying, mild enough for a first taste of Ethiopian food yet full of flavour. Served with freshly made injera or rice, it welcomes vegans, vegetarians and anyone after a nourishing, plant-based meal straight from the motherland.
