Ethiopian Deka Sega Wat (Ethiopian Ground Beef Stew)

This is one of my favourite Ethiopian dishes, it is called Sego, ground beef stew. I grew up eating this and love having it for dinner. This is taking pasta sauce to a new level! Italian food has had a lot of influence on Ethiopian food from occupations of Italy in Ethiopia in history which is why we eat a lot of pasta and this is our version of Italian Spaghetti. Very simple to make but also very tasty.
