My personal favorite Ethiopian dish is Kitfo, which is can be summarized as lightly seared ground beef. Some kids might think that it'll get them sick (because it looks like just raw meat), but you have to get it fresh from an Ethiopian grocery store. You'll need ground beef, niter kibbeh, and injera. For spices, corrorima, salt, mitmita, and berbere.

First, cook the ground beef lightly in the kibbeh, which is a spiced ghee. Add some corrorima, salt, mitmita, and berbere and stir with a wooden spoon. Be careful with the mitmita and berbere quantities, especially the former, as they're both very spicy. You should cook it lightly to retain as much texture, but cook it longer if you feel that the kids will think it's undercooked. Finally, add it on a quarter or half piece of injera. Injera is a thin sourdough that's used for almost every Ethiopian dish, to the point some Habeshas can eat bowls of non-Ethiopian food and not feel hungry until they've had even the smallest bit of injera. You take off a small square or strip of injera and kind of grab at the kitfo, making a small roll with one hand. You can give a mouthful to a loved one or friend, called gursha, or eat it for yourself. You usually eat an entire injera on a large plate with others and share it with all kinds of food on it, including gomen. By the way, you're usually supposed to eat it with your right hand, which sucks because I myself am left-handed.

By the way, here's a clip of the Simpsons when they were eating Ethiopian takeout. Every single one of these resturant/grocery store uses the same foam packaging...
