Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ethiopian Spiced Cottage Cheese Delight.
Step 1
Start by mixing the cottage cheese with a clove of minced garlic, ground cardamom, and ground cloves in a bowl. Make sure everything is well combined, then cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the dish. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion, minced ginger, chopped green chile pepper, and the two cloves of minced garlic. Sauté this mixture for about five minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Next, stir in the fresh spinach leaves. Cook them just until they wilt, which should take only a couple of minutes. Be careful not to overcook; you want to retain that vibrant green color and fresh flavor. Once wilted, drain any excess liquid from the spinach mixture.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to serve! Spoon the warm spinach mixture generously over the seasoned cottage cheese. The creamy base paired with the spiced spinach creates a delicious contrast that’s sure to impress.
