Ingredients
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) vegetable oil
- 2 large brown onions, sliced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, cut into sticks
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into large wedges
- 1 tsp vegetable stock powder
- ½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
- ½ red capsicum, thickly sliced
- ½ yellow capsicum, thickly sliced
- 100 g green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- ½ long green chilli, seeded and finely chopped
- pinch of korerima (Ethiopian cardamom)
- coriander leaves, to garnish
- injera (Ethiopian flat bread) or rice, to serve
Instructions
- Heat 60 ml (¼ cup) oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the ginger and most of the garlic and stir until fragrant.
- Add the carrot and stir for 3-4 minutes. Add the turmeric and stir until fragrant, then add the potato and stir to coat. Reduce the heat to medium, add 125 ml (½ cup) water, cover and simmer until the potatoes are half cooked. Stir in the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add another 375 ml (1 ½ cups) water and the stock powder, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for another 10 minutes or until the potato is soft, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the capsicum and green beans and cook until charred. Transfer the capsicum and green beans to the potato and carrot and stir through gently. Transfer to a serving bowl, scatter with a pinch of korerima (Ethiopian cardamom), the green chilli, spring onion and coriander leaves and serve with injera or rice on the side.
