Atakilt Wat Bites (Vegetable Stew Bites)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Potatoes, diced
• 1 cup Carrots, diced
• 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
• 1/2 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
• 8 slices Bread slices or Crackers

Instructions

1. 1Heat the 2 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (325°F / 160°C). Add the 1/2 medium Onion, chopped, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onion looks soft and see-through.
2. 2Add the 2 cloves Garlic, minced, and the 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced, to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell their fragrance.
3. 3Add the 1 cup Potatoes, diced, and the 1 cup Carrots, diced, to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing them to soften slightly.
4. 4Stir in the 1 cup Cabbage, shredded, along with the 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
5. 5Pour in 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low (250°F / 120°C). Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are easily pierced with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
6. 6Optional: You can gently mash some of the vegetables against the side of the pan with your spoon to thicken the mixture slightly. This is done after the vegetables are tender.
7. 7While the stew simmers, toast the 8 slices of Bread until they are golden brown and crisp, or arrange the Crackers on a serving plate.
8. 8Spoon the warm vegetable mixture from the skillet onto the toasted bread slices or crackers. Serve immediately.
