Chop the onion very finely and sweat it in a dry pot for 5 minutes.
Add the oil, garlic, and tomato, then cook for 5 minutes.
Add the berbere spice and fragrance it for 1 minute.
Add the hot water and bring to a boil.
Whisk the chickpea flour into the pot little by little.
Cook the shiro for 15 minutes until it reaches a thick cream texture.
Serve hot with jalapeno slices.
💡 Tip: Whisking in the chickpea flour gradually prevents lumps; if berbere is unavailable, use chili flakes, sweet paprika, turmeric, and garlic powder.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve over injera or plain rice with tomato salad.
