Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add the sliced carrots and onions to the skillet, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the salt, black pepper, cumin, and turmeric, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the pot and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it wilts and softens.
- Fold in the cubed potatoes, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors have melded together.
Notes:
- Serving Suggestion: Serve this dish warm alongside injera or fluffy basmati rice.
- Pro Tip: For a more authentic depth of flavor, you can add a pinch of ginger or a small amount of garlic when sautéing the onions.
- Texture Check: Be careful not to overcook the potatoes; cut them into consistent sizes to ensure even cooking.
