Ethiopian Cabbage and Peas

We made an amazing Ethiopian meal around a month ago and I'm finally getting around to blogging more about it.  Stay tuned for a complete Injera post, complete with a video of the cooking process! 

This is a delicious, savory dish that explodes with flavor!  I relied on both of our Spice Mixtures and then added more cardamom.

• Salt/pepper
