Tibs is a traditional Ethiopian dish consisting of spiced, stir-fried, and stewed meat and vegetables. Chef LaMara's version features chicken thighs that have been seasoned with ginger, garlic, and a berbere spice blend, then braised with sweet onions. The resulting stew is super flavorful and full of tender meat, and shines when served on a bed of fragrant basmati rice to soak up every last drop of that delectable sauce.

It was ok, but nothing special. I kept feeling like the meal would be over the top if a bit of yogurt or sour cream was added to the sauce.

Grilled Skirt Steak with Fregola Salad
What's better than marinated and grilled skirt steak on a bed of summer grain salad? Not much! Fregola is an Italian rolled pasta, and is pleasantly toothsome in this salad. The salad is accompanied by charred red onions, cherry tomatoes, baby arugula, and balsamic for acidity. Finished with a classic chimichurri sauce, we love this bright summery dish from Chef Stacy!
