(WUSA9) — The noon newscast got a little taste of Ethiopia! We had the pleasure to welcome Chef Askale Shiferaw, the owner of Askale Café. She shared with us some appetizing Ethiopian recipes.

Chef Askale created her “Tibs Wot” or Beef Stew for WUSA 9. She also offered the “Tekel Gomen,” a mix of cabbage, carrots and potatoes. The dishes are enjoyed with Ethiopian bread or Injera.

Chef Askale is a health conscious Ethiopian and American fusionchef, so she stressed the importance of utilizing as many natural ingredients as possible.
