It's the backbone of Ethiopian cooking, and you can make it a thousand different ways. But for the truest, best niter kibbeh, you need to order a few signature ingredients (or get them from a saint of a chef).

Silken Tofu Isn't Just a Protein—It's a Sauce

When blended with fresh herbs, or something tart or spicy, shelf-stable silken tofu becomes a creamy base for almost any kind of sauce (or dressing, or dip).

Creamy Ginger Dressing

Silken tofu is the base of this dressing, creating a punchy sauce that's creamy and silky. Bryant Terry uses it to dress a hearty grain salad with celery, persimmons, and chopped nuts—but you can also drizzle it over grilled vegetables, or use it as a dip for crudités.
