Mixed Vegetables (Qudaar) Légumes mélangés

Mixed Vegetables (Khudaar) Légumes mélangés

Somalis have very few vegetarian dishes. In the southern part of Somalia, where most of the agriculture is concentrated, more vegetables are consumed. For most Somalis, vegetables are added to meat dishes. Potatoes, carrots, green peppers, pumpkins, and plantains are popular.

The following is a vegan recipe that is both nutritious and flavourful. The vegetables are added at different stages depending on the cooking time required for each of them. For instance, the potatoes and carrots take the longest time, while the zucchini is best when it is cooked for a just a few minutes. Zucchini can be eaten raw and is great with salads. The canned lima beans are already soft and need very little time to mingle with the other ingredients.

If you plan ahead, you could use dried lima beans. Just soak them overnight and add them to the pan in the initial stages together with the potatoes and carrots. That way you wouldn’t need to use the canned beans.

 

Les Somalis ont très peu de plats végétariens. Dans le Sud de la Somalie, là où la plupart de l’agriculture est concentrée, les légumes sont plus consommés. Pour la plupart des Somalis, les légumes viennent en garniture des plats de viandes. Pommes de terre, carottes, poivrons verts, citrouilles, et bananes plantain sont populaires.

La recette suivante est végétalienne qui est à la fois nutritive et goûteuse. Les légumes sont ajoutés à différentes étapes suivant le temps de cuisson requis
pour chacun. Par exemple, les pommes de terre et les carottes prennent le plus de temps, alors que la courgette est meilleure lorsqu’elle est cuite juste quelques minutes. La courgette peut être mangée crue et elle va bien dans les salades. Les haricots lima en conserve sont déjà cuits et ont besoin de très peu de temps pour s’accommoder avec les autres ingrédients.

Si vous préparez à l’avance, vous pouvez utiliser des haricots lima secs. Il suffit de les faire tremper une nuit et de les ajouter à la poêle au tout début avec les pommes de terre et les carottes. Comme ça, vous n’aurez pas besoin d’utiliser des haricots en conserve.

Ingredients:

(Tbsp is a tablespoon; tsp is a teaspoon)
(1 cup = 237 mL; 1 Tbsp = 15 mL; 1 tsp = 5 mL) all level measurements

    My potatoes turn out hard if I do not boil it first even when I am cooking suugo or suqaar. Can I just pop my potatoes in like you did in this dish here or will It turn out hard or should I just boil it. I’m always worried about my potatoes turning out hard and do not know what to do.

    • A&L
      September 14, 2012 | 10:13 pm

      If you dice the potatoes and cook the way we did you should have no problem. You do not need to boil the potatoes for this recipe. You can boil potatoes if you are using them for tomato sauce, as it takes longer to cook.

    Asc, bacdal salaan, inbadan ayaan sameeyey qudaartaan oo aad ayaan ujecelnahay aniga iyo familigeyga, mahadsanidiin. Waxaan ka qabaa su’aal digirta, aniga Lima beans kuwa aan kahelay dukaamo badan (waxaan deganahay Norway) waa nooc ka waaweyn tan aad isticmaasheen. Ma iskumidbaa? tankale Zucchiniga yaryarna waan waayay oo waxaan isticmaalay 1 xabo oo roon. miisaan ahaan maqiyaasi kartaa sadexda xabbo intay udhigmaan? waayo waxaan dareemayaa inuu aad ubadanayo.

      Waan ku-faraxnay inaad jecleysateen qudaarta andiga iyo reerkaada. digirta nooca waaweyn waad isticmaali kartaa. Zucchini-gana ka-yareey, hal ayaad isticmaali kartaa ama hal iyo bar. Maraqa markaad karinaysid waxa aad jeceshahay waad ku-dari kartaa, ma’ahan sida waxyaabaha la-dubo oo kale (doolsho, buskud, rooti, iwm). Waxyaabaha la-dubo (baking) waxay u-baahan yihiin cabbirro 100% sax ah.

    Salam,
    I am really excited about finding your blog. Could you please tell me what is the “vegetable seasoning you have used in all your vege dishes. Also what is this “Vegeta seasoning mix” in this recipe? Or are they the same? I am really excited. Also, I would love to request you to make more vegetarian and legume dishes for people who don’t eat meats :)
    Thank you.

        Thank you for your reply :) If vegetable seasoning and vegeta seasoning is just average seasoning from market, how does one get the “Somali” taste in all these dishes? I love it so much. Thank you again!!
