Usually, when we do a roundup based on a regional or ethnic cuisine, we talk about how none of the traditional dishes are vegan friendly, but with a little tweaking, they can be. Well, this is finally one roundup that’s going to be an exception to the norm. Many authentic Ethiopian recipes are vegan-friendly to begin with, so you don’t have to tweak them or substitute anything. It’s pretty awesome.
It’s not that Ethiopians don’t eat meat; they do. It’s that fasting from animal products is a big component of their orthodox faith, so they intentionally eat vegan meals, sometimes for more than a month straight. This is good news for vegan travelers who visit the country, or any vegan who happens to have an Ethiopian restaurant in their town. But if you don’t plan on visiting the Horn of Africa anytime soon, and you don’t have an Ethiopian restaurant nearby, here are six authentic vegan Ethiopian recipes you can make at home! You should try one out!
