Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 c Onions, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, pressed
1 tb Berbere (dry)
1 tb Sweet Hungarian paprika
1/4 c Niter Kebbeh
1 c Green beans, cut in thirds
1 c Carrots, chopped
1 c Potatoes, cubed
1 c Tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c Tomato paste
2 c Vegetable stock
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley(OPT)

Saute the onions, garlic, berbere, and paprika in the niter kebbeh
for 2 minutes. Add the beans, carrots, and potatoes and continue to
saute for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Bring to
a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes, or until all of the vegetables
are tender. [personal comment: we simmered more like 40 minutes,
until it eventually thickened.]

Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the parsley (optional).

Serve with injera and yogurt or cottage cheese.

Comment from book: Try making this dish and Yemiser W'et for the same
meal. In Ethiopia, it is customary to offer several stews at one
time, and people eat some of each kind.

Comments from the Shipps: Don't stop with just two dishes, make a
banquet. You will need several friends to help eat it all, but it
will make for a very interesting and satisfying evening. The
Moosewood book describes how to make a hearty vegetable stock. We
have found a vegetarian vegetable bouillon made by Knorr that is a
reasonable substitute with much less effort.
