Ethiopian Buticha (Spicy Chickpea Dip)

This popular spicy chickpea dip from Ethiopia in West Africa (which is ready in only 7 minutes!) is the perfect accompaniment to Injera; an Ethiopian style pancake which is rolled up and cut into small pieces, ready for dunking. Delicious!

Buticha is also great for pouring over a Berbere infused Ethiopian stew. Enjoy and we’d love for you rate this dish and leave a comment at the bottom of the page!
