Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 1 large red onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons berbere spice
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them into thick pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Grate the ginger with a microplane or finely chop it.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the berbere spice, cooking for 1 minute to allow the spices to release their aroma.
Add the tomato paste, stir well, and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms start to release their juices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the stew is thickened and the mushrooms are tender, stir in the lemon juice.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander before serving.
Serve hot with injera or rice for a complete meal.
