Ethiopian Cabbage Side Dish - Tikil Gomen - Vegan

Sometimes the very basic and simple ingredients make the best dishes. This one is a classic example of that. When I make side dishes for my Roti, it involves a lot of spices and herbs. But this one is very simply flavoured, but is packed with taste. Cumin and Ginger provide the distinct taste, pepper a little spiciness and turmeric the beautiful colour. I have made this without the potatoes as well. It is extremely popular in our house.

You can serve with Ethiopian Bread Injera. But then lets be honest, we do not make that often at home. So we just eat with Roti/Chapati. It is great with Rice or Quinoa as well. Give it a go and let me know how you like it.

African Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Stew - Vegan

Do you have days when you want to make a dish and it kind of never happens? This is one such dish for me. I have been planning to make this for quite some time now. And even bought sweet potatoes a couple of times. Each time it was turned into some other dish (tasty, but not this dish).

The finally I got a chance to make it. To be honest, I am not sure how authentic it is! Cause I have never been to Africa or eaten in many African restaurants. The only cuisine I know is Ethiopian. Oh Wow, that is some food. Well, that is a discussion for another day.
