Waiting for a cook
Ethiopia
Yataklete kilkil (yatakilt alicha) is the mild Ethiopian vegetable stew of fasting days: potatoes, carrots and green beans boiled, then simmered in a purée of onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli cooked down in oil or niter kibbeh, with a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg but no berbere. It is a ye'tsom dish, one of the vegan pots that fill the injera platter through Lent and on Wednesdays and Fridays, and it sits next to the hotter wots to cool the mouth. It is close to atakilt wat, the cabbage-and-carrot version AFN already carries; this one is the potato-and-green-bean stew.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
