🧂 Ingredienser
- 4 large (about 1.5 lbs / 680g) Potatoes
- 2 medium Yellow Onion

- 3-4 cloves Garlic

- to taste Salt
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte

Prepare the aromatics: Heat the oil (or Niter Kibbeh) in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are deeply golden brown and softened, about 15-20 minutes. This slow sautéing is crucial for developing the base flavor.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 2
Bloom the spices: Add the minced garlic and berbere spice blend to the pot with the onions. Stir constantly and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic or spices.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 3
Add potatoes and liquid: Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Pour in 1.5 cups of water or vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Stir to combine everything.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Simmer until tender: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add more liquid if the stew becomes too dry.
⏱️ 25-30 minutes - 5
Finish and season: Once the potatoes are tender, taste the stew and season generously with salt. The stew should have a thick, saucy consistency. If it's too thin, you can simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce it. If it's too thick, add a splash more water or broth.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Serve hot: Ladle the Dinich Wot into bowls. It is traditionally served with injera (Ethiopian sourdough flatbread), but can also be enjoyed with rice or other flatbreads.
