In celebration of Black History Month, “Clay Pot Cuisine” is sharing the rich flavors and stories of Ethiopian cuisine. Seble Yemenu, the owner of this beloved business, has recently marked a significant milestone—her venture has expanded from cooking classes and catering to a food truck.
From Catering to Food Truck
For Yemenu, the food truck was always the ultimate goal. “I like to feed people, that’s my love language,” she shared with pride. Now, her food truck brings authentic Ethiopian dishes to Albuquerque, offering a rotating menu made from scratch.
“I want people to stop by and learn,” Yemenu added. She views food as an expression of respect and connection, sharing the love and hospitality she grew up with in Ethiopia.
A Taste of Home in Albuquerque
Having lived in Albuquerque for five years, Yemenu is excited to share the flavors and culture of her homeland with the local community. She fondly recalls her upbringing on a farm in Ethiopia, surrounded by family, siblings, and cousins. “Food is really, really important,” she says. “It’s a way of showing respect for the person.”
At “Clay Pot Cuisine,” customers can enjoy traditional dishes that Yemenu would prepare for her own family back in Ethiopia. From savory stews to freshly made injera, the food truck offers a true taste of Ethiopian hospitality.
