Gomen (Collard Greens)
Collard greens sauteed with garlic, ginger, and cardamom in niter kibbeh, a mild counterpoint to spicy wats.
Why It Works
The mild, slightly bitter greens provide essential contrast on the injera platter; cooking in spiced butter adds subtle warmth without heat, balancing the fiery wats.
