Simple Kale Recipe (Habesha Gomen wot)

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of kale, washed and chopped
• 1 large onion, finely chopped.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Water, as needed (most of the time not needed)

Instructions:

1. Boil a cup of water and precook the Kale (For this recipe I have used my Instant pot on pressure cooking setting for 7 minutes, this will cut the cooking time in half).

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

3. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.

4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently.

5. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes until the spices are fragrant.

6. Add the chopped kale to the pan and mix well with the onion and spice mixture.

7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.

8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the kale cook down for about 10-15 minutes. If it starts to stick, you can add a splash of water.

9. Check the kale for tenderness. Once it’s cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat.

10. Serve the Gomen Wot on its own or with injera, the traditional Ethiopian flatbread.
