====Kitfo====

Another distinctively Ethiopian dish is ''[[kitfo]]'' (frequently spelled ''ketfo''). It consists of raw (or rare) beef mince marinated in ''[[mitmita]]'' (Ge'ez: ሚጥሚጣ ''mīṭmīṭā'' a very spicy chili powder similar to {{transliteration|am|berbere}}) and {{transliteration|am|niter kibbeh}}. ''[[Gored gored]]'' is very similar to {{transliteration|am|kitfo}}, but uses cubed rather than ground beef.

====Ayibe====
{{transliteration|am|Ayibe}} (or ''Ayeb'') is a local cheese made from the curds of [[buttermilk]] that is mild and crumbly, close in texture to crumbled [[feta]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ayeb (Ethiopian Cheese) |url=https://www.brundo.com/blogs/recipes/how-to-make-ayeb-ethiopian-cheese |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424210753/https://www.brundo.com/blogs/recipes/how-to-make-ayeb-ethiopian-cheese |archive-date=April 24, 2023 |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=Brundo Spice Company |date=14 December 2020 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2" /> Although not quite pressed, the whey has been drained and squeezed out.<ref name=":2" /> It is often served as a side dish to soften the effect of very spicy food. It has little to no distinct taste of its own. However, when served separately, {{transliteration|am|ayibe}} is often mixed with a variety of mild or hot spices typical of Gurage cuisine.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tara |date=2019-09-06 |title=Ayib (Homemade Fresh Cheese) and Ethiopia Cookbook Review |url=https://tarasmulticulturaltable.com/ayib-homemade-fresh-cheese-ethiopia/ |access-date=2022-12-10 |website=Tara's Multicultural Table |language=en-US}}</ref>

====Gomen kitfo====
''Gomen kitfo'' is another typical Gurage dish. [[Collard greens]] (ጎመን ''gōmen'') are boiled, dried and then finely chopped and served with butter, chili and spices. It is a dish specially prepared for the occasion of [[Meskel]], a very popular holiday marking the discovery of the [[True Cross]]. It is served along with {{transliteration|am|ayibe}} or sometimes even ''kitfo'' in this tradition called {{transliteration|am|dengesa}}.
