Atakilt Wat (Turmeric Cabbage and Potatoes)

Method

1. 1

   Cut the cabbage into wedges, the potato into chunks, slice the carrots, and mince the onion, garlic and ginger.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a lidded pot and soften the onion, garlic and ginger 4–5 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the turmeric and bloom it 30 seconds until the oil turns gold.

4. 4

   Add the carrots and potatoes with a splash of water, cover, and cook 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the cabbage wedges, cover again, and braise 20 minutes until everything is soft and golden.

   💡 Steam does the work — this pot should never fry loudly.

6. 6

   Uncover, season, and stir gently to coat everything in the turmeric oil without breaking the potatoes.

7. 7

   Take your place on the platter — atakilt is the mild corner every fiery dish needs.
