Method

1
Make flax sauce: Mix ground flaxseed with water, olive oil, diced onion, jalapeño and salt.
2
Tear injera: Tear injera into bite-size pieces in a large bowl.
3
Combine: Pour the flax mixture over injera and mix until all pieces are evenly coated.

Cook's notes

Let the flax hydrate enough to thicken into a sauce before judging whether it needs more liquid.
Pieces should be large enough to retain texture after mixing.
Fold thoroughly but avoid crushing the injera into paste.
