Fit Fit is a beloved Eritrean breakfast dish made from torn pieces of injera, seasoned with sautéed vegetables. This dish holds cultural significance as it reflects the communal spirit of Eritrean dining, often enjoyed during family gatherings. Typically served in the morning, it’s a flavorful way to kickstart the day.
Tear the injera into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and green chili (if using), cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, paprika, and berbere spice mix (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the torn injera pieces to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the injera with the spice mixture and vegetables.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the injera is well heated and slightly crispy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
