Key Sir Alicha (Ethiopian Beets and Potatoes)

Key Sir Alicha (Ethiopian Beets and Potatoes)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided, or as needed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (optional)
  • 2 large beets, diced
  • 1 cup water, or more as needed
  • 4 large potatoes, diced


  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir onion until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beets and stir to combine. Pour water over beet mixture and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil.
  2. Cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until beets are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are soft but not falling apart, about 15 minutes.
