Best Fit-fit in New York
“Shredded flatbread, spiced butter, and berbere heat—Ethiopian breakfast comfort in a bowl.”
What the real thing tastes like
Fit-fit or fir-fir (Ge'ez: ፍትፍት fətfət; ፍርፍር fərfər), (Oromo: chechebsaa), is Ethiopian food typically served as breakfast. It is generally made with shredded Ethiopian flat bread (injera or kitcha), spiced clarified butter (niter kibbeh), and a hot spice blend called berbere. Fit-fit is served by preparing a sauce from the butter and spices, and blending it with the shredded flatbread. There are two main varieties of fit-fit depending on the type of flatbread being used: the sourdough injera and the unleavened kitcha.

Fit-fit arrives at the Ethiopian breakfast table as a warm, spiced embrace—shredded flatbread (either tangy injera or unleavened kitcha) tossed into a sauce of niter kibbeh and berbere spices until every piece glistens and absorbs the heat. It's the kind of dish that uses leftover bread as its foundation, transforming something humble into something sustaining.
