Hilbet
Hilbet (Tigrinya፡ ሕልበት) is a traditional food from Aksum, Tigray. It is a vegan food that is made from fava beans, fenugreek, lentil, and other spices that are ground into a powder.[1][2] The Hilbet powder is then cooked and whipped to make a cream-like texture. At the center of the Hilbet it will have chill paper-based sauce and is eaten using Injera.[3][2]
