Kitfo can also be cooked and has its own unique names -Ā tire, leb leb, geba yaleĀ andĀ yebeseleĀ - according to the degree of cooking. It is traditionally eaten with your hands using tef crepes and braised green cabbage leaves. We serve it with lettuce. A little advice: make a lot of spiced butter; it's great to cook with and keeps for a long time.
