Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons RawSpiceBar’s Freshly Ground Berbere

1 cup red lentils

1 piece yellow onion, diced

4 pieces cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 piece fresh ginger, minced

1 cup canned, chopped tomatoes

1 piece Kosher salt & pepper, to taste

2 cups vegetable broth (we love Saffron Road’s Vegetable Broth)

1 piece Yogurt & cilantro to garnish, optional

Preparation

  1. Rinse lentils in a sieve under cold running water and set aside.

  2. In a medium saucepan, saute onion in canola oil over medium heat until the onions turn golden, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add RawSpiceBar’s Berbere spices, stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Add lentils and cook for about 5 minutes.

  5. Add chopped tomatoes and broth, bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until lentils are soft, about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if needed. Salt & pepper to taste.
