Ethiopian Spiced Cottage Cheese with Greens (Gomen Kitfo)

By: Annaid

"This is an Ethiopian recipe that is slightly altered to better accommodate ingredients commonly available in the US. Use spinach if you prefer; and if you can't find cardamom, just leave it out. I first made this for a school project in junior high."
