except Friday (Muslim holy day) when they start at 8:30am, close at 12 noon, open again at 2:30 and close again 7pm.
Ethiopian Beer
If you're interested, you may also find restaurants that stock two Ethiopian beers that are imported - The St George is a lively, fragrant lager, while the Bedele, an Ethiopian pilsener, is deep gold in colour and has a maltier finish.
The other option is to get it straight from Girma who imports Bedele Beer. At the moment (2006), he has Bedele Beer which is approximately $45 for one carton (24 stubbies).
The contact details are:
Girma (Sydney) - Mob: 0432 046 877

None! Boo Hoo!
Recipes to
Try
Spritz (or layered fruit
drinks)
needed:
a breville whiz or
bamix or equivalent
heavy based fry
pan
choose one of these
combinations, or make up your own.
(1) 2
kiwi fruit; 1/4 paw paw; 1/4 pineapple; 1/4 rockmelon
(2)
avocado, papaya, pineapple & sometimes topped with
watermelon
(2)
banana, and any 3 of above
(3)
avocado, and any of above
(4)
mango
(5)
guava
Instructions:
Get tall or large
glasses
Peel the
fruit
Reduce it in the
Breville (or equivalent)
Put the thickest
fruit in the glass first (and the runniest in last) . If it is not done this way
the thicker tends to sink into the thinner resulting in everything mixing
up.
Example of order from
thickest to runniest would be: banana, pawpaw, kiwi fruit, pineapple,
rockmelon.
Notes:
Could make with 3 to
6 layers of fruit.
Fantastic for brekky
or lunch or anytime really
Serve with a
spoon.
If you find your
wizz/blender is clogging up too much with the avocado don't use water to make
the processing easier, use a small amount of fresh pineapple, orange or
lemon juice
'Shoombra'
Needed:
- Chickpeas (dry not in a tin)
- optional: berbere (Ethiopian spice - only if like a hot
flavour)
- A heavy based frying pan
Instructions:
- Boil the chick peas until they are chewable, but not as soft as the
tinned chick peas
- Drain
- Dry roast them in a heavy based frying pan, stirring all the time
until they are dry
- They may be tinged a little brown but the important thing is that
they are dry.
- Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salted water
Notes:
- Can soak the chickpeas overnight in water with a little salt (and
berbere if you want it spicy) . this way the taste goes through the
chickpeas
- Fry if making a small amount, and bake for larger
quantities
- Can be eaten by the handful
- They can be stored for a couple of weeks (the comment of parents
are that they don't last long enough to be able to be
stored)
- Are good as a snack in replacement of packets of
chips
- This is the 'mild version' - to make hotter also sprinkle with a
tiny bit of berbere (probably not recommended for little
kids)
