I thought one would be a bite-sized portion, but nope... both were full entrees. I had the spicy chicken stew as the Ethiopian National Food option, and I believe I had a regular chicken with boiled potatoes. I forgot the sauce, but it was yellow (not curry). I'm usually able to finish off most meals, but even I had to tap out.
The 2 entree option was only served from ADD-JNB; ORD-ADD only saw 1 main course followed by a canape about 6-7 hours in, and the pre-landing snack about an hour prior to landing.

If you don't know Ethiopian food, just ask the crew to make up a selection for you - they love doing that and explaining what pairs best with what. Like most African airlines, the bar is free flowing and they take genuine pleasure in ensuring your glass is always topped up.
ET may be nothing fancy, but I've never walked away from an ET Cloud Nine experience with a negative impression. The crew do everything they can to make your flight pleasant (in sharp contrast to many other more "premium" carriers) and that goes a long way towards creating a positive memory.
