How to Make YeAsa Ena YeDinich Shorba (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
- Place the potato cubes in a pot and add enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir and cook until the potatoes are al dente but not fully cooked or mushy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- In a separate pot, sauté the diced onions in oil over medium heat until they are translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water, the parboiled potatoes, and the fish to the pot. Mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Add the whole milk, unsalted butter, mitmita (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Turn down the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes to warm everything through and combine the flavors.
- Remove the pot from the heat and serve the Ethiopian Potato and Fish Stew hot.
