This is a great way of introducing vegetables into meals for those who would not eat them otherwise. It is the way that most Somalis eat their veggies. Somali restaurants almost always serve some kind of veggie topping with the rice and meat dishes. Potatoes, carrots, and sweet peppers are a favourite choice.
We used this veggie topping for the Aromatic Rice (Bariis Udgoon) الأرز البسمتي بالبهارات. Together, they make a flavourful vegan dish. What makes this recipe appealing is that it can be prepared very quickly. We cooked the vegetables simultaneously with the rice and we split the tomato and cilantro blend between the two. With this recipe, it is important not to overcook the vegetables. They should be just done.
Ce plat permet d’introduire des légumes dans le repas de ceux qui n’en mangeraient pas d’habitude. Les Somalis mangent leurs légumes de cette façon. Les restaurants Somalis servent toujours une garniture de légumes en accompagnement du riz et des plats de viande. Les légumes les plus utilisés sont les pommes de terre, les carottes, et les poivrons doux.
Nous utilisons cette garniture avec notre Riz Aromatique (Bariis Udgoon) الأرز البسمتي بالبهارات. Ensemble, ils forment un plat végétalien savoureux. Cette recette est pratique car elle se prépare très rapidement. Nous avons cuit les légumes simultanément avec le riz et nous avons partagé les tomates et le coriandre mixés entre les deux. Dans cette recette, il est important de ne pas trop cuire les légumes. Ils devraient être juste cuits à coeur.

Walaal waad ku-mahadsan tahay fikradda aad soo jeedisay. Markaan ku-fakarnay inaan billowno Xawaash.com ujeeddadeenna waxay ahayd:
1- Cuntooyinka dhaqanka aan u-leennahay inaan adduunweynaha u-bandhigno
2- Inaan Soomaalida qurbaha joogta ku-kaalmeenno cunta kariska
3- Inaan cuntooyinka fiican oo waddamada kale leeyihiin u-bandhigno Soomaalida aan luqadaha kale aqoonin. Waxaad ogaataa in cuntooyinka qaarkood oo aan dhaqanka u-leennahay inay asalkooda waddama kale inooga yimaadeen. Addunweynaha oo dhan ayaa cuntooyinka is-weydaarsada. Waxaan kaa fahannay inaad cuntooyinka ajnabiga ah raadsan kartid, waxaase jira dad fara badan oo sidaada u-raadsan karin.
4- Waxaan rabnay inaan cunta kariska (tan Soomaalida iyo ajnabiga) u-soo bandhigno si fudud oo aad waadix u ah. Waxaan ku-faraxsan nahay in dad badan oo cunta kariska jeclaan jirin ay maanta jeclaadeen. Waxay nala tahay inay u-sabab tahay habka fudud aan u-soo bandhignay.
Walaasheenna qaaliga ah, waan ku-faraxsan nahay sida aad u-jeceshahay dhaqankeenna. Waxaan kaa codsanaynaa inaad sameysid liis oo cuntooyinka dhaqankeenna. Hadduu Eebbe idmo waxaan ku-dadaalaynaa inaan soo wada gelinno. Mahadsanid.

Thanks for putting this up . It looks really good . Mashallah!
Thank you very much for your comment.
I boil all my potatoes to be soft for no matter what I’m doing because I do not want it to be hard. In this dish I can wish to boil the potatoes right ?
There is no need to boil the potatoes for this recipe. Cut them as thin as we did and follow the recipe and they won’t be hard. When you fry thin sliced potatoes it takes between 10 to 15 minutes depending on the heat. If you are cooking them in a stew it depends on how thin the liquid is. The thicker the liquid, the longer it will take for the potatoes to cook. Acidic liquids like tomato sauce will also increase the time it takes to soften raw potatoes.
ASC! i wanted to cook this but i have one question though, do i have to have the sweet pepper or i can do this without it? thank you for your help.
Wa’alaikum As-salam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
You can do without the sweet pepper but it gives the dish a nice flavour. Happy Eid.
Hi,Looks yummy. I love Somali food and look forward to making these recipes.I wanted to ask what is this “vegetable seasoning in the ingredients you have listed?
Thank you!
Thank you very much for your comment. In this recipe we used Vegeta, but you can use any seasoning salt.
