Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 250 grams Green beans
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 250 ml Water
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Peel the carrots and cut them into thick diagonal slices. Trim the green beans into 2-inch pieces.
Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the turmeric, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the onions and release the spices' aroma for about 1 minute.
Add the cubed potatoes, carrot slices, and green beans to the pot. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the spiced onion mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pot, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the Yataklete Kilkil warm as a side dish or light main course, traditionally paired with injera or rice.
