Fah-fah

Fah-fah is a traditional soup originating from Djibouti. It's usually made with a combination of goat meat, cabbage or kale, leeks, garlic, onions, potatoes, hot peppers, coriander, salt, and pepper. The meat and vegetables are placed into a pot, covered with water, and gently simmered.


After some time, the garlic and coriander are added to the pot and the soup is simmered until the meat is tender. Once done, fah-fah is typically served in individual bowls with canjeero (injera) flatbread on the side. The soup is usually made in the southern parts of the country and it's often served for dinner.
