Atakilt wat is my favorite Ethiopian vegetable dish. I created it by mixing together a few different recipes I found. Serve as a side dish with injera and other Ethiopian dishes.

Total Time:: 1 hr 20 mins
Servings::4
Ingredients
⅓ cup olive oil
4 carrots, sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 small head cabbage, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 small yellow potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
¼ cup water
Directions
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add onion; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and ginger; let seasonings toast until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir cabbage and garlic into the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage wilts, about 10 minutes. Stir in potatoes and water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring every 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
Tips
You can reduce the final 30-minute cook time if you cut the potatoes smaller.
