Comfort yourself with a bowl of Shiro, the beloved creamy chickpea stew of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Finely ground chickpeas are simmered with onion, garlic and berbere into a smooth, savoury stew. Served with soft injera at Rimyya Friendship Bar And Restaurant, it is pure East African comfort food in West End Winnipeg.
Shiro is one of the most cherished everyday dishes in East African homes, loved for its silky texture and rich, nutty flavour. At Rimyya Friendship Bar And Restaurant, we simmer finely milled chickpea flour with sauteed onions, garlic and our house berbere blend.
Cooked slowly, it develops into a smooth, warming stew that is naturally vegan and deeply satisfying. Scooped up with tangy injera, shiro is the kind of humble, homestyle dish that keeps our Winnipeg regulars coming back.
