This is a must-have recipe for those who love ethnic foods. This is a very filling option as well.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and potato, cover and cook 10 minutes longer.
  2. 2
    Remove and cover and stir in cayenne, paprika, ginger, salt, pepper, cumin, cardamom and tomato paste. Add chickpeas and water and bring to a boil.
  3. 3
    Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender and the flavor is developed, about 30 minutes, adding a bit more water if needed. About 10 minutes before the stew is ready, stir in green peas and taste to adjust seasonings.

    This is pretty tasty stuff!! It was definitely too spicy for me, but my hubby loved it. Served it with an injeta recipe from here. Thanks so much for sharing! Will make again. Oh, I didn't use any oil~~just sauteed in water, which really makes this a healthy dish!! :O) UPDATE: Made this again tonight with cauliflower instead of carrots~~Still yummy! Cut back on the cayenne and I was able to eat it this time! :O)

    Delicious! Got even better after letting it refrigerate and reheating it. The only thing is that it made only 4 large servings, and that was over rice (which I know isn't the right way to eat it, but I still have to learn how to make that spongy Ethiopian bread). Thanks for posting - I'll definitely make it many more times.
