Ethiopian Lentil Stew (Misr Wot)
You can serve this comforting, thick lentil stew along with braised greens, as a side dish to meat or chicken, or scoop it up with pieces of injera (Ethiopian bread).This recipe uses our Berbere spice blend, an essential component of Ethiopian cuisine. The blend is spicy and aromatic -- a mix of chiles and spices. Warming, "sweet" spice notes from ginger, cinnamon, fenugreek and clove combine with herbaceous qualities of besobela (sacred basil), rosemary and thyme.Adapted from Saveur
