INGREDIENTS
| 2 | T | Ghee -=OR=- vegetable oil |
| 3 | Whole cloves | |
| 1 | Onion, chopped | |
| 2 | Garlic cloves, crushed | |
| 1 | c | Potatoes, cubed |
| 2 | c | Carrots, diced |
| 2 | c | Green beans, chopped |
| 1/2 | T | Berbere |
| 1/2 | T | Hungarian paprika |
| 1/2 | c | Coconut milk |
| Salt & pepper | ||
| Cilantro, chopped |
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat ghee or vegetable oil with the whole cloves over low heat. When hot, add the onions & garlic & saute, stirring occasionally, for a few moments. Add the carrots & potatoes & continue to saute for 5 minutes, stir to prevent sticking. Add the green beans & saute for just a few more minutes. Slowly stir in the coconut milk. Use only as much as you need to create a thick sauce: the vegetables should not be swimming in milk. Carefully bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer until the vegetables are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally otherwise the milk & vegetables will burn. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with an Ethiopian Lentil stew or with an Indian dal to mix cuisines, & bread. If you prefer the vegetables to be hotter, add more berbere. It is best if this dish is made ahead of time & then left to let the flavours marry. In place of cilantro, use fresh parsley.
