Genfo (Amharic: ገንፎ, gänfo); or Ga’at (Tigrinya: ጋዓት, ga'at) is a stiff porridge-like substance that is normally formed into bite-size ball, dipped into a mixture of butter and red peppers, or pulses such as sunflower, seed, nut (Carthamus tinctorius) and flax (Linum usitatissimum) during Tsom.[2]
Genfo is made with barley or wheat flour.[3] To cook genfo, the flour and water are combined and stirred continuously with a wooden spoon. Genfo is presented in a large mound with a hole in the center, filled with a mixture of niter kibbeh and berbere.[4] This spicy combination is tempered with yogurt which balances the flavors.[5] The porridge may be eaten with the hands or with a utensil.[6]
