PICK-UP DINNER: Eritrean Highland Fare by Selam Teclu
Eritrea is an ancient, complex and diverse society. Nine ethnic groups, each with their own language, inhabit ecosystems ranging from coastal Red Sea lowlands, to fertile mountainous highlands, arid desserts to sub-tropical rainforests, each home to distinct ingredients and cuisines. These dishes are inspired by those typical of the rural, agrarian highland villages: predominantly plant-based and complexly spiced. Chef, urban farmer and nutritionist Selam Teclu gives these traditional recipes a contemporary twist, combining regional herbs and spices with local ingredients for a unique dining experience.
