Description
Berbere Potatoes- a simple flavorful Ethiopian-inspired side dish that is healthy, delicious and vegan!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
- 1 large tomato, diced (with juices)
- 1 tablespoon Berber spice
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- `1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1.5 lbs thin-skinned potatoes, thinly sliced (yukons, red, etc)
- a drizzle of olive oil
- 1/8 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- In a cast iron or oven-proof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the shallots and saute, stirring until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and their juices, and continue cooking until they begin to break down and soften, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Berbere spice and the water.

Hi there,
Is there anything that can be subbed for the tomatoes in this recipe? Thank you.
Humm, great question- haven’t tried, but how roasted bell peppers, out of a jar? Maybe puree them a bit?
Easy to make and very delicious!
Thanks Renee! Glad you like these!
Delicious and really easy! I threw in some Serrano peppers I needed to use up for some heat. This is a great dish. I had the leftovers with eggs for breakfast. Very good!
