Gaat porridge

Classic poor people's food. A soft, wonderful porridge made with flour and water and seasoned with melted butter and berbere. It's all in the wrist.

Serves six.

2 cups water

1 cup flour

salt

100 gm. butter

1 tbsp. berbere (or paprika )

Heat the water in a pot. Sift the flour and in a skillet, dry it for a few minutes on very low heat, taking care not to let it brown. When the water comes to a simmer, add the flour gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir vigorously over medium heat, taking care not to let the mixture stick to the bottom of the pot. After a few minutes of vigorous, continual stirring you will have a smooth, flexible, somewhat sticky mixture. Salt to taste, add 50 grams of butter and continue to stir.

Melt the remaining butter on low heat. Place the gaat in a serving dish and make a well in the center. Pour the melted butter into the well, sprinkle berbere on top and serve.
