Ingredients You Need for Ethiopian Pumpkin Stew [Vegan]
How to Prepare Ethiopian Pumpkin Stew [Vegan]
For the pumpkin puree:
-
Make your fresh pumpkin puree by putting the pumpkin in a plastic bag and throwing it down on the ground hard to break it.
-
Place the pieces on a parchment lined baking tray and bake at 350°F for about 1 hour.
-
Poke it with a fork to see when it's completely ready and soft.
-
Take it out, and peel the skin easily.
-
I used a fork to hold it down, and a knife to scrape so I don't get burned. It's important to do it when it's still hot to easily get it out.
-
Put all the pumpkin in a blender and blend until smooth.
For the quinoa:
-
Soak the quinoa in water (to cover) for 48 hours. It makes cooking a breeze.
For the stew:
-
Put a small amount of water at the bottom of your pot and put the chopped red onion in. Cook for about 10 minutes, until it turns translucent.
-
Add rinsed quinoa (discard soaking water), and 2 cups water.
-
Add berber spice, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the water is gone.
-
Add pumpkin puree and mix well.
-
Turn off heat.
-
Serve on injera, or on its own.
