Potatoes with Cinnamon

To prepare a delicious vegetable dish, start by cleaning and washing all the ingredients well. Choose fresh vegetables to achieve an intense and vibrant flavor. Cut the potatoes and beets into large cubes so they hold up better during cooking and retain their texture. Carrots can be sliced into rounds, and the garlic into thin slices to provide intense flavor to the dish.

In a pot or deep pan, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is well heated, add the chopped vegetables. It is important to stir constantly to ensure that each piece is coated with oil and spices. Then add dried thyme, curry, cinnamon, and sweet paprika, along with a little coarse salt. These spices will not only enhance the flavors but will also add warmth and depth to the dish.

After mixing the vegetables well with the spices, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let everything steam for about 20 minutes. During this time, it is essential to stir occasionally, being careful not to crush the vegetables but to let them cook evenly. The aroma that will spread in the kitchen will be irresistible, and the vibrant colors of the vegetables will make the dish even more appealing.

When the vegetables are almost ready, taste the mixture and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. It’s time to decide if you want to add a splash of lemon to balance the flavor or perhaps even a teaspoon of honey to enhance the natural sweetness of the beets and carrots.

To serve, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top, which will add a contrast of color and a note of freshness. This dish can be enjoyed warm, either as a vegetarian main course or as a side dish alongside meat dishes such as chicken or lamb. Give it a chance, and the combination of flavors will delight the taste buds of everyone who tries it!
