Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

African Style Vegetables In Coconut Milk


vegetables, african, side dish

2 tablespoon ghee -=or=- vegetable oil
3 each whole cloves
1 large onion, chopped
2 each garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup potatoes, cubed
2 cup carrots, diced
2 cup green beans, chopped
1/2 tablespoon berbere
1/2 tablespoon hungarian paprika
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 salt & pepper
1 cilantro, chopped

Heat ghee or vegetable oil with the whole cloves over low heat. When hot, add the onions & garlic & saute, stirring occasionally, for a few moments. Add the carrots & potatoes & continue to saute for 5 minutes, stir to prevent sticking. Add the green beans & saute for just a few more minutes. Slowly stir in the coconut milk. Use only as much as you need to create a thick sauce: the vegetables should not be swimming in milk. Carefully bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer until the vegetables are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally otherwise the milk & vegetables will burn. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with an Ethiopian Lentil stew or with an Indian dal to mix cuisines, & bread. If you prefer the vegetables to be hotter, add more berbere. It is best if this dish is made ahead of time & then left to let the flavours marry. In place of cilantro, use fresh parsley.
