Literally “white onion,” this is the Amharic word for garlic, used in many dishes, and tossed into the mix at the beginning of the cooking process, when you’re simmering the shinkurt (onions) in oil or butter. And by the way, Ethiopians use shallots rather than larger onions in the most authentic cooking, although in America, red onions tend to take their place.
