Directions Key Sir Alicha (Ethiopian Beets and Potatoes)
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir onion until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beets and stir to combine. Pour water over beet mixture and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil.
Cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring occasionally, until beets are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are soft but not falling apart, about 15 minutes.
