Fit

Fit-fit or fir-fir , (Oromo: chechebsaa), is an Eritrean and Ethiopian food typically served as breakfast. Fit-fit is served by preparing sauce and shredding injera or kitcha into pieces and mixing the two. It is generally made with shredded flat bread, spiced clarified butter, and the hot spice berbere. There are two main varieties of fit-fit depending on the type of flatbread being used: the sourdough injera and the unleavened kitcha. Injera fit-fit (enjera fetfet; also taita fit-fit in Tigrinya) is a combination of shredded injera, berbere, onions, and clarified butter. Variations on this basic recipe are common in which the name of the additional item is commonly used as a prefix (e.g. injera with shiro is called shiro fit-fit). In Eritrea, leftover meat sauces (zighni or tsebhi) are often added to injera fit-fit and served for breakfast with raw chili peppers and yoghurt on the side. Similarly, in Ethiopia, leftover wat is used as a main ingredient along with injera.
