Can I freeze Gored Gored?

While technically possible, freezing is not recommended as it can significantly alter the texture of the beef and the vibrancy of the berbere. It's best enjoyed fresh or within a couple of days from the fridge.

What if I don't have niter kibbeh?

As mentioned, you can use regular ghee, but for the most authentic flavor, try making your own spiced butter or seek out niter kibbeh at an Ethiopian market or online.

Can I make this less spicy?

Yes, simply reduce the amount of berbere to your taste. You can also use a milder berbere blend if available.

What do I serve Gored Gored with?

Traditionally, Gored Gored is served with injera, the spongy Ethiopian flatbread, which is perfect for scooping up the meat and sauce. It also pairs well with a simple side salad or rice.
