Vegan Ethiopian Misri Wot
Please note that wats do not have specific ingredients. Animal products, especially beef, and eggs, usually find their way into the recipe. It will be helpful to let your hosts or server in the restaurant know that you are vegan. This is yet another reason why I prefer preparing cooking on my own.
