Plant-based, by tradition
Habesha kitchens did not add vegan food to keep up with a trend. Orthodox Christians fast from all animal products on most Wednesdays and Fridays and through long seasons like the 55 days before Easter, so fasting food (yetsom migib) is a full cuisine of its own.
Look for shiro, misir wat, kik alicha, gomen and atkilt, or simply ask for a fasting beyaynetu. Kitchens prepare dishes their own way, so if you are strict about butter or fish, ask how a dish is made.
