Tikel Gomen (One Pot Potato and Cabbage Dish)
Description
Tikel Gomen (One Pot Potato and Cabbage Dish) features a medley of vegetables slowly cooked together with warming spices. Carrots and white onion are sautéed in olive oil before adding a blend of salt, pepper, ground cumin, turmeric, and ginger to infuse the oil with flavor. Green cabbage and red-skinned potatoes are then simmered covered, allowing the potatoes to become soft and the cabbage to wilt and absorb the spice blend.
The dish is cooked on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The spices contribute a subtle earthiness while the oil adds moisture and richness. The overall texture is tender with the potatoes offering a soft, creamy bite alongside softened cabbage and carrots.
This recipe works well as a comforting vegetarian side or as a simple one-pot meal. It pairs nicely with bread or can be served with grains for a complete dish.
For best results, use the full amount of olive oil to maintain moisture and deepen flavor, though reducing it is possible if desired. Cutting potatoes into bite-sized pieces helps the dish cook evenly and in the approximate time noted.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 4 medium carrot sliced
- 1 medium white onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric ground
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 medium green cabbage sliced
- 5 medium potato cut into bite-sized pieces, red
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a 6.5-quart covered stockpot over medium-high heat.
- Add in the carrots and onion and saute them in the oil for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the seasonings (salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, ginger) and toast for 60 seconds.
- Add in the cabbage and potatoes. Stir to combine. Cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Actual cooking time will depend on how big you cut your potatoes.
Notes
- Use the full 1/3 cup olive oil for optimal flavor and moisture, though it can be reduced to about 2 tablespoons if necessary.
- Cut potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and softness in about 30 minutes.
