Classic Ethiopian Braised Vegetable Kebabs

Assemble the ingredients: vegetable, stock, water, potato, black pepper, bay leaf, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the vegetable and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ethiopian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Ethiopian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
