Cuisine: Ethiopian
Serves: 4-5 servings
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups chopped carrots (about one large carrot)
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 t. minced garlic
  • ¾ t. ground turmeric
  • 1 t. ground cumin
  • 1 t. pureed fresh ginger
  • 1 lb. yukon gold or red potatoes, diced (no need to peel if organic)
  • 1½ cups vegetable broth, divided
  • ¾ t. salt, plus more to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can white beans, drained
  • 1 head cabbage, leaves separated
  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Heat about ¼ inch of water in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the turmeric, cumin, garlic, and ginger. Stir and cook about one minute, then add the potatoes and 1 cup of vegetable broth.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are soft (15-20 mins). Add the salt, pepper, and beans, and roughly mash the mixture with a potato masher.
  5. Spoon about ½ cup of your vegetable mash into each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides, then roll up like small burritos. Pack your cabbage rolls into a baking dish, pour ½ cup of vegetable broth over the rolls, and cover your dish with foil and place it into the oven to steam until the cabbage is translucent, 35-45 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a green salad for a complete, nutritious meal.
