How to Make YeAsa Ena YeDinich Shorba (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

  1. 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.
  2. In a separate pot, sauté the diced onions in oil over medium heat until they are translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the whole milk, unsalted butter, mitmita (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  5. Turn down the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes to warm everything through and combine the flavors.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and serve the Ethiopian Potato and Fish Stew hot.
