Gomen Wat (Spicy Ethiopian Greens)
This Ethiopian side will change how you make greens!
Gomen Wat is a traditional Ethiopian stew made with collard greens or other greens, garlic, onions and warm spices. It originated in Ethiopia and has been a staple dish in the country for centuries. Most Ethiopian restaurants will include some version of this dish, along with other authentic Ethiopian veggie dishes (try my Misir Wot, Shiro Wat or Atakilt Wat)But in my humble opinion, it’s the unsung hero of Ethiopian cuisine—simple, wholesome, and packed with flavor! Plus, it’s healthy enough to justify that second helping!
? Ingredients and notes
To make Ethiopian collard greens, you’ll need avocado oil (or vegetable oil), red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, garlic, ginger paste, cumin powder, cardamom powder, red chili powder, chopped collard greens or kale, and salt. You can also use fresh lemon juice for adding acid, and chopped basil for garnish (optional).Add avocado oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Then add chopped onions, tomatoes, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt to the skillet and sauté until soft (about 5 to 7 minutes).Now, add the chopped collard greens or kale to the skillet in small increments. Stir so the greens and the spice mixture mix quite well together, and increase the heat to medium-high.Cover, and allow it to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes to make sure it doesn’t burn.
