This Gomen Wot is one of Jude’s favorite meals. He loves it when I cook Ethiopian food. It takes me all day long to make it but it is totally worth it. To see his face light up when he smells Ethiopian food makes my life worth living! I hope that I can do it justice and make your birth mom proud.
My good friend, Betty, is so willing to answer all my crazy questions. She and her husband took care of Jude while we were here fighting for him. I can never outcook her. She is a fabulous cook, but I can seek her wisdom.
Gomen Wot
1/2 c. oil
4 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
Sea salt, 1 1/2 tsp.
1 tsp. pepper
Cumin, 1 tsp.
1 Tbsp. turmeric
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
Instructions
This is all pretty simple. You will saute most of this stuff up (except the cabbage). Once is it all sauteed up, throw it all in a crockpot and set it on low. Let it slow cook for the day. This is a traditional Wot.
