Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions have softened. Add the berbere seasoning and ginger paste; fry for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the carrot, potato, cabbage, and ½ teaspoon of salt to the pan. Cover the pan and allow to cook for 10 minutes, checking once halfway through to stir and add a splash of vegetable broth or water if needed.
  3. After ten minutes, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, stir, and turn the heat down to low. Recover the pan and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Garnish with black pepper and cilantro.

Notes

  • You can store Ethiopian Cabbage leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, retaining its flavor and texture. To freeze, place airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months.
  • For reheating, thaw it in the fridge if frozen, then warm it in a microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to ensure even reheating and to maintain the dish's texture.
