Tikil Gomen (Ethiopian Cabbage)

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2/3 head cabbage, diced and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrots, garlic, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until flavors are combined, about 7 minutes. Add cabbage and mix well.

Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the cabbage is tender but not completely soft, about 20 minutes. Add water if vegetables look dry.
