Atakilt Wot – Ethiopian Vegetable Dish with Carrots, Cabbage, and Potatoes
I used halved Brussels sprouts in this recipe instead of cabbage, but you could just as easily use thinly sliced cabbage in its place! The instructions won’t change at all. I also included a poblano pepper, which isn’t traditional, but I thought it added another layer to the dish. Omit the pepper if you wish,…

Read MoreQuick Injera Recipe with Wheat Flour
Traditionally, injera bread takes days to make. I wanted a fast version though for nights when I simply hadn’t been able to plan ahead enough to make injera properly.
