tikil gomen

Cabbage, albeit a versatile veggie, rarely shines so bright as it does in this Tikil Gomen recipe--a spicy, flavor-loaded, Ethiopian style preparation of velvety cabbage sauteed with carrots and potatoes.

Tikil Gomen (Ethiopian Cabbage with Carrots and Potatoes) Recipe

red onion ((finely diced))

garlic

potatoes

carrots

tbsp berbere

turmeric

cabbage

Salt

jalapeño peppers

Heat a wok and add the niter kibbeh. Add onions with some salt and saute over medium heat until onions are soft.

Stir garlic into the onions and continue sauteing for another minute. Stir in the carrots and potatoes.

Add the berbere and turmeric to the veggies and mix them together. Cover the wok and cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat or until potatoes and carrots are nearly cooked. Stir frequently to ensure nothing sticks or burns.

Add the cabbage to the wok and mix it in. Cover and cook the veggies for another 10-15 minutes over gentle heat, stirring occasionally, or until the cabbage is very soft and the carrots and potatoes are cooked through. You don&#39;t need to add water because the cabbage will express enough liquid.

Stir in the sliced  jalapeño peppers. Add more salt if needed and turn off heat.

This tasty tikil gomen features stir-fried cabbage and veggies seasoned with fresh ginger, garlic, and jalapeño for a delicious meal with a bit of a kick.

Stir in the jalapeno, and then begin stirring in the cabbage, a handful or two at a time so the pot doesn't overflow (if you are using a dutch oven).
