How To Make Misir Wot (Ethiopian lentil stew) [Vegan]

  1. Preheat a pot to medium, then add the onions. Cook the onions until they start to become translucent and brown. If the onions begin to stick, add water a tablespoon at a time.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to coat everything in the spices for about 30 seconds to a minute.
  3. Immediately, add 1/2 cup of water to deglaze the pan.
  4. Add the tomatoes and allow them to cook and break down for another 10 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cups of lentils, 4 cups of water, and 2-3 tablespoons of the Berbere spice blend. Mix everything, cover the pot, and allow the lentils to simmer until they are tender (15-20 minutes). Add more water 1/2 cup at-a-time if the lentils are not tender after the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Once the lentils are tender, remove them from the heat and serve in bowls. Serve the lentils with rice if you prefer.
  8. Garnish with lemon slices.
