Ingredients
serves 4
- White cabbage — to buy1
- Onion — to buy1
- Garlic — to buy2 cloves
- Neutral oil — to buy2 tbsp
- Ginger — to buy1 piece
Preparation
Cut the white cabbage into thin, even strips.
Slice the onion and garlic, cook them in the oil over medium heat 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Add the grated ginger and the sliced cabbage, cook 2 minutes over high heat, stirring to coat the cabbage well.
Lower the heat, cover and simmer 15-18 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender and slightly soft, almost translucent.
Season with salt, taste: gomen should be mild and comforting, a counterpoint to the spicier dishes in the meal.
Serve hot or warm, as a side, with injera.
