Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons berbere spice blend
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- Salt, to taste
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water

Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the berbere spice blend, paprika, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger with the spices.
- Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, diced bell pepper, green beans, cauliflower florets, and broccoli florets to the saucepan. Stir to combine the vegetables with the spice mixture.
- Pour in the vegetable broth or water, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the stew cook for about 20–25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Check the seasoning and adjust with salt or additional spices if desired.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
