At Lucy's, the new Ethiopian Restaurant in Seattle, you will be welcomed by a relaxed ambience and flavorful cuisine. Each dish is rich in taste and nutrition and is accompanied by a variety of traditional drinks. Lucy’s has unique appetizers, such as a zesty tomato salad or pastry rolls filled with whole lentils, and delicious desserts to complete the meal.
Ethiopian cuisine is greatly enjoyed by Americans for reasons beyond its selection of flavors. This cuisine has immense health benefits stemming from its use of simple, natural ingredients. The food consists of breads, stews (known as wat), grains and spices. Typically, a meal has a combination of flatbread (injera) with different wat stews.
The main ingredients in Ethiopian cooking consist of powdered chili pepper, onions, ginger, and garlic. Equally, two essentials are butter and vegetable oil, which are simmered or sautéed in a pot to create the wat stew. The rich redness of the stew, stained by the popular paprika spice, when added in small amounts creates an enormous taste. Meats such as beef, chicken, fish, goat or lamb complete most dishes; and for vegetarians, dishes are made of split peas, lentils, potatoes, carrots and chard.
Ethiopian drinks are an exquisite part of the dining experience. Tej, for example, is an ancient honey-based wine that usually initiates a meal, sometimes in place of an appetizer; Talla is a beer made from local grain that often accompanies snacks and coffee can be enjoyed at the end of a meal, arriving with natural honey as a sweetener.
Lucy's Ethiopian Restaurant is open seven days a week from 11 AM to 2 AM, and features live entertainment after 10 PM, every night. Reservations are not necessary, but recommended.
