Ingredients
Preparation
Cook lentils in boiling water about 35 - 40 minutes, until soft and tender. Meanwhile, cook shallots in a dry pan until soft and light brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add garlic and continue stirring. Add 1/4 cup water, Berbere, and olive oil. Drain and mash lentils and add to shallot mixture then stir in onion salt. Simmer 30 minutes to 1 hour. You may need to add more water to keep a consistency similar to oatmeal. Serve hot or at room temp. Recipe by Elisabeth Freeman, adapted from Vegetarian Times This is an Ethiopian recipe. Berbere is a traditional Ethiopian spice, which is hard to find in the US (dont know about other countries). If you cant find it, you can fake it. This stew is traditionally served with injera, a sour, flat bread that is used to scoop up the stew.
