6 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1cupOnions, finely chopped
2Garlic cloves, pressed
1tablespoonBerbere (dry)
1tablespoonSweet Hungarian paprika
¼cupNiter Kebbeh
1cupGreen beans, cut in thirds
1cupCarrots, chopped
1cupPotatoes, cubed
1cupTomatoes, chopped
¼cupTomato paste
2cupsVegetable stock
Salt and pepper to taste
¼cupChopped fresh parsley(OPT)

Directions

Saute the onions, garlic, berbere, and paprika in the niter kebbeh for 2 minutes. Add the beans, carrots, and potatoes and continue to saute for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender. [personal comment: we simmered more like 40 minutes, until it eventually thickened.] Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the parsley (optional).

Serve with injera and yogurt or cottage cheese.
