About Fata

Edible Seattle shares Cheryl’s fata from her time living in Eritrea, where bread with spicy tomato sauce and yogurt was a favourite lunch. This version selects fresh plum tomatoes, olive oil and berbere, with plain crusty rolls.

The tomato sauce combines onion, garlic and the berbere blend. Fresh onion, jalapeño and tomato add a distinct finishing layer, while plain yogurt brings dairy richness to the spicy mixture.

Torn bread fills individual bowls beneath the sauce and garnishes. The source calls for immediate serving before the bread becomes mushy; its separate three-spice berbere substitute is not part of this selection.
