Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh mushrooms (such as button or cremini)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons berbere spice mix
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms. Set them aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the berbere spice mix and stir constantly for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
Mix in the tomato paste until fully incorporated with the onion mixture.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot, stirring well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if using. Serve hot.
