Ingredients
2 Tbsp Nitir Kibbeh (divided) |
1 medium White onions (julienned) |
3 clove Garlic, raw (minced) |
3 Tbsp. No salt added tomato paste |
2 Tbsp Berbere (divided) |
1 medium Roma tomatoes (small dice) |
1 cup, dried Red Lentils (rinsed) |
2 1/2 cups No salt added vegetable stock |
1/2 tsp. Salt |
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and equipment.
In a medium pot, melt 1 Tbsp niter kibbeh over medium heat. Add onion and saute for ~ 10 minutes or until golden brown. Add garlic and saute for another minute.
Add tomato paste and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Add tomatoes and berbere spice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add lentils, stock, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes until lentils are tender. Stir occasionally. If lentils look dry, add more stock or water a half cup at a time.
Stir in remaining Tbsp of niter kibbeh and remaining berbere spice, if desired. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Serve.
