Queen of Sheba

Queen of Sheba knows a thing or two about preparing vegetarian food that you’re not going to find anywhere else. We recommend the yeme shir kikwat, which is split red lentils cooked in berbere sauce or the shiro, crowned chick peas mildly spiced and cooked with chopped onions and tomatoes. There’s also the yatakilt alicha, with cabbage, carrots and potatoes sautéed with peppers, onion and garlic. (March 2012)
