Key Sir Alicha (Ethiopian Beets and Potatoes) Recipe

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.

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.
