Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add 1 pound of roughly chopped collard greens to the simmering water and poach for 10-12 minutes until tender but still vibrant, then carefully drain them, reserving 1/4 cup of the poaching liquid.

3. 3

   While the collard greens are poaching, whisk together 1/2 cup of tahini, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon of berbere spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.

4. 4

   Gradually whisk in the reserved 1/4 cup of poaching liquid into the tahini mixture until a smooth and pourable dressing is achieved.

5. 5

   Gently combine the warm, drained collard greens with the tahini dressing in a large serving bowl, ensuring the greens are evenly coated.

6. 6

   Garnish the Gomen Bira be Tahini Mets'o with 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion before serving immediately as an authentic Ethiopian dinner.
