One of my distant relatives in the middle of Outback Australia married an Ethiopian woman. Good choice - the woman can cook, and well enough to be featured on a food show on national TV.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups red onions (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon garlic
6 new potatoes, chopped
5 carrots, chopped
1 small cabbage, chopped
6 medium chili peppers, chopped (birds eye or baby red if you like it hot, possibly jalapeno if you like it milder)
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cardamom
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons basil, chopped

Cook onions and garlic in oil until transparent.
2

As I looked this recipe over, I wondered how this would cook slowly for 30 minutes without liquid. Recipezaar Support was helpful, and encouraged me to find an answer and give it a try. I chose vegetable broth at ½ cup per serving. (2½ cups for 6 servings.) This seemed to be about right. I put the broth in after adding the cardamom and nutmeg in step 3. (The recipe calls for garlic twice – I chose to add it in step 1, and sautéed it with the onion.) Back to step 3, it is hard to brown that much chopped vegetable. The cabbage seems to release liquid, so the process is not real dry. I never got even the potatoes to brown, thought I stirred for over 10 minutes. I choose serranos for the peppers. I served it with injera bread. It is ok, but even with six chopped serranos, it comes across as kind of bland. This could be just because I am missing something about Ethiopian cooking. (More cardamom??) We have some Ethiopian restaurants in the area, and I shall give one a try before going on in an Ethiopian direction.
