When I visit other people\u2019s houses I like to meet their pots.
\nThere is always a story there, a story that is full of adventure.
\nWhy did they combine those ingredients?
\nHow did they get to the kitchen they cook?
\nWhy were they put together?
\nAnd what is the relationship between them?<\/p>\n

From my encounter with these pots I go to my kitchen.
\nThere I turn the happiness I met into a version of my own,
\nOne that turns the pot into our home pot, and its story and how it came to us.<\/p>\n

I got to meet the wonderful Eti as a gift from my soulmate Rotem.
\nShe is a woman that I fell in love with from the first time I laid my eyes on her.
\nShe reminds me of my home.
\nMy grandmother Esther, her movements, the way she\u2019s at ease and the way she loves.<\/p>\n

On one of my visits to her house I met this wonderful pot,
\nA pot that is all one huge story.
\nIt is a combination of a true Moroccan house with a small visit to distant Japan.
\nIts smell plays in every corner of the house like an instrument,
\nIts spectacular appearance enchants everyone who looks at it.
\nIts bite is the most comforting and pure there is,
\nAnd the heart dances with happiness from it.<\/p>\n

This is a pot that I chose to prepare first on the stove and finish in the oven.
\nIt gives me peace,
\nIt brings with it wonderful aromas of home,
\nIt\u2019s the perfect side dish,
\nIt\u2019s full of love and history,
\nAnd it\u2019s all one big magic.<\/p>\n

Its preparation is fast,
\nIt will conquer any heart it meets,
\nAnd will make every day a day full of joy.<\/p>\n

My version of Eti\u2019s potatoes.
\nJoyful,
\nExciting,
\nIndulgent,
\nTelling a story,
\nAnd the best, but the best thing there is!<\/p>\n

Thanks to my beloved Eti for the experience she gave me,
\nThanks to my heart that knows how to choose the right people around me,
\nThanks to my soulmate who gave me more family,
\nAnd thanks to food for the endless abundance and comfort it gives us.<\/p>\n

Indulging and happy days to us all \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Eti\u2019s Potatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 cups coconut cream + 1\u00bd cups water (Total of 3\u00bd cups of liquid) (For alternatives, have a look at \u201cA little extra from me\u201d)<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon turmeric<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc teaspoon cumin<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • 5-10 medium size potatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat the oven to 355\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) . I recommend using turbo mode although upper and lower heat mode is also possible.<\/li>\n
    2. Peel and cut the potatoes into medium size cubes.<\/li>\n
    3. Pour olive oil in a wide pot and put the spices, turmeric, cumin and cinnamon. Fry the oil and spices a little and let their wonderful flavors unfold.<\/li>\n
    4. Add the potato cubes to the spiced pot, add salt and mix everything together for a brief fry of the entire contents of the pot.<\/li>\n
    5. Add the liquids to the pot \u2013 the coconut cream and the water and mix everything. Bring the pot to a boil and cover the pot with a lid that\u2019s oven-safe.<\/li>\n
    6. Transfer the pot to the oven and bake for between 60-90 minutes with the lid on. If your pot does not have a lid, you can wrap it with parchment paper and foil paper on top. (You can also cook on low heat for 60-70 minutes. It is important not to stir with a spoon, stir the pot only by shaking it from side to side. If you lack a little liquid, add it in moderation).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Take out of the oven, serve while it\u2019s still hot and try not to faint out of joy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

      \n

      A little extra from me:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • The potatoes can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n
      • I recommend choosing medium size yellow or red potatoes. Of course, you can also choose \u201cButter\u201d potatoes.<\/li>\n
      • Eti\u2019s potatoes will go perfectly with a dish of chicken in the oven in just a minute of work (click here to see the recipe<\/strong><\/span>) or next to fish balls with honey, lemon and mint (click here to see the recipe<\/span><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
      • Coconut cream and water can be substituted for sweet cream or dairy-free cream, so that there will be a total of 3\u00bd cups of liquid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
