| | washingtonpost.com: Break Bread at Meaza |
 | | It's been a while since I had that happy an encounter, but the injera at Arlington's Meaza -- injeras, in fact, the darker made entirely of teff and the paler half teff, half whole wheat -- has reconciled me to what can only be called the white-breading of many Washington Ethiopian restaurants. |
 | | Teff, the small but nutritionally potent grain traditionally used for making injera, is expensive to import, and most Ethiopian kitchens and injera bakeries in the area have switched to part-teff blends or use buckwheat and other similarly sour doughs instead. |
 | | However, just as weekends are packed, Mondays the kitchen can seem exhausted: While the injera and collards were as good as usual, the fish was a trifle strong, and the ribs were leftovers-hard and almost seemed already stripped. |
