--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       tb           Ghee OR vegetable oil
   3       ea           Whole cloves
   1       lg           Onion, chopped
   2       ea           Garlic cloves, crushed
   1       c            Potatoes, cubed
   2       c            Carrots, diced
   2       c            Green beans, chopped
     1/2   tb           Berbere
     1/2   tb           Hungarian paprika
     1/2   c            Coconut milk
                        Salt & pepper
                        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.
